Six weeks without a timetable. Without playground duty. Without wondering whether you’ve covered all twelve reading levels.
When you read these lines, the school year is behind you. Maybe you’re sitting on a balcony, maybe in a café, maybe somewhere your desk doesn’t matter. That’s exactly how it should be.
We know what you’ve been through. A school year with substitute lessons, parent-teacher conferences, children who want to read, and children who aren’t ready yet. You’ve done all of that. Now it’s your turn.
Holidays are holidays
This isn’t an article that gives you homework. No “make the most of summer vacation.” No professional development disguised as a blog post.
If you don’t want to read a single word about reading support over the next few weeks: completely fine. Turn off your phone, read a good book yourself, relax. You deserve it.
And if you feel like it sometime
Since early July, MichMatz ReadMe has been available. Free. No obligation.
If you feel like it on a quiet afternoon, take a look. Create a story about a topic that interests you. Try different reading levels. Turn on read-aloud if you want to hear how the story sounds when spoken.
And if you’re curious about what goes beyond reading: Have comprehension questions generated for the story, try grammar exercises, or see what assessment questions look like. You decide what you activate.
No tutorial, no time pressure. Just try it out and see how it feels.
Whoever discovers ReadMe during the holidays can get started right away in September. Not because they have to, but because it’ll already be familiar.
Three things you can try in five minutes
All you need is an email address and a few minutes:
- Create a story. Choose a topic, a language, a reading level. ReadMe generates a personalized story that you can read right away.
- Compare reading levels. Create the same story at two different levels and see how vocabulary and sentence structure change.
- Listen to read-aloud. If you enable the read-aloud function when creating the story, it will be narrated. Listen in and think about whether it works for your class.
- Explore reading comprehension and grammar. ReadMe can generate comprehension questions, assessment questions, or grammar exercises for any story. Just select the right options when you create it.
The whole thing takes as long as you want. Ten minutes at the kitchen table is enough to get a good feel for it.
Ready to go in September
When the new school year starts, you have two options: start cold with a new tool. Or already know it. Anyone who took a look during the holidays already knows which reading level works for their class. Which topics work. How quickly a story is created.
This isn’t an advantage you have to work for. This is an afternoon that feels good.
Try MichMatz ReadMe for free and find out if it’s right for your teaching.
Enjoy the holidays. And if you feel like it: We’re here for you.
