Suggestions for use: The Bio Cube interactive is also called the Cube Creator and can be used for stories, riddles etc.
Summarising information is an important postreading and prewriting activity that helps students synthesize what they have learned.
The Bio Cube option allows students to develop an outline of a person, i.e. poet, author, character or whose biography or autobiography they have just read; it can also be used before students write their own autobiography. Specific prompts ask students to describe a person's significance, background, and personality.

Reading a-z provides teachers with more than 2,200 books to facilitate the teaching of reading, including a collection of about 700 levelled readers written for 27 levels of reading difficulty. These levels are cross correlated with Reading Recovery and so can complement this programme if it is operating in your school. Both fiction and non-fiction books with a range of genres and a variety of text types are offered. Teachers simply download, print, fold and staple any of the books they need and can make as many copies as they need 24/7. All the books are also projectable which means that they can be displayed on the IWB or data projector screen in large format for whole class/group instruction. The website also provides lessons and worksheets with each book, as well as a complete phonics program, high-frequency word books, poetry resources, fluency passages, reader’s theatre scripts, alphabet resources, assessments, and much more.
