Natural Wonders, Cool Creatures, Fun Festivals, and
much more! One Minute Reader is packed with high-
interest, nonfiction stories that engage readers of all
ages.
The game-like scoring system keeps kids motivated
and working to improve. Progress graphs provide
immediate feedback and help build confidence.
One Minute Reader has audio support and guided
steps that allow kids to build essential reading skills
on their own.
Readers log in to One Minute Reader independently and begin by selecting the book and story
they want to read. Choosing the story deepens the reader's personal investment in the material.
Audio support guides the reader through a series of steps. Readers earn points as they move
through the process and complete various activities.
The reader starts the timer and reads for one minute. A graph displays
the reader's cold-timing score, establishing a baseline for progress
monitoring that motivates the reader to improve.
The reader quietly reads along with a recording of the story, typically
three times. This step actively helps the reader learn new words and
learn proper pronunciation, expression, and phrasing.
The reader practices reading the story independently until they can read
it accurately and with expression. Practicing helps the reader improve
fluency, master difficult words, and understand the story.
The reader answers questions about the story. Correct answers help to
solve the book's Joke Jumble.
At the end of each story, a summary report is provided showing how much improvement was made and
how well the reader answered the quiz questions. Book Summary reports are also provided when all the
stories in a book are complete.
