Free iPad app to help with reading comprehension...an app
that gives a place for teachers and students to have digital book and article
discussions.
Subtext is a FREE
collaborative reading app for the Ipad. Subtext claims that it promotes and
facilitates an elevated reading experience on tablets. Subtext is a great tool
to help students break down complex texts and it is perfectly suited for close
reading. It allows groups to exchange ideas and interact within the pages of
digital texts. Just think about the benefit of being able to leave notes or
questions in the margins of a digital book and getting replies in real time from teachers and other
peers as opposed to just you scribbling on a paper book, let alone the fact
that you wouldn’t even be allowed to do this when using regular classroom
textbooks. Subtext provides many other tools to support reading which
will be discussed below. Subtext can be used with 2nd grade through high
school/college students. I have used it with 2nd grade, and all the screenshots
below are screenshots of one of my 2nd grade groups.
Subtext is a free iPad app that allows classroom groups to
exchange ideas in the pages of digital texts. You can also layer in enrichment
materials, assignments and quizzes—opening up almost limitless opportunities to
engage students and foster analysis and writing skills.
