Online Activities

Boy at ComputerTake your  kids on a reading adventure by visiting the RIF Reading Planet. Encourage kids to try some of the following activities that they can do at  home or anywhere.



 

  • Poetry Splatter
    Kids can create silly poems by splattering words onto the screen and dragging them to blank spots in a poem. They'll have lots of fun building poetry.

  • Super Sorter
    Kids just answer a few questions, and the Super Sorter will tell them what kinds of books and activities they might like to try.

  • Writers’ Blocks
    Kids join together to build a story block by block. In this monthly feature, students are given a "story starter," and they are asked to finish the story by adding their own ideas.

  • Story Maker
    Kidss can make their own personalized story! They can choose a setting for the story. Then kids enter information about themselves, and we create a story that's unique to them!

  • Illustrate a Story
    Children simply print out the book of their choice, illustrate it, and create a fun book they can read again and again.

  • Send a Postcard 
    Kids can choose from eight different designs and send a postcard to friends or family members to tell them all about the reading adventures the kids are having!

  • Word Builder 
    Children can choose a word list and make their very own word search puzzles.

  • Book Zone
    Kids can publish their own book reviews. Once a child has read a book, he can go to the Book Place and search for it by title or author, or browse for it by category. Once he's found the right book, he can click on it to rate it and review it.
