Readorium Alignment with Australian Science Standards: Grade 3

Transcription

1 Readorium Scholar Alignment with Australian Science Standards: Grades 3-5 Readorium Content: In Readorium, students choose science books that interest them or teachers may lock or unlock specific books for classes, groups, or individuals. All students can understand the same rich content because the readability levels of the chapters and the supports students receive automatically adjust to their individual needs as they read. Once students receive tokens for completing books, they may select magazine articles or National Science Foundation videos. They may also participate in game-like activities based on the concepts and vocabulary they just learned. Teachers can log into the to view student data and download resources and lessons based on this data. The following chart shows the content available for students that is aligned with Australian Science Understanding and Science as a Human Endeavor Standards. Standards for Inquiry Skills that require hands-on experimentation are not included in this standards alignment. Some content applies to more than one standard.
