Using Sports To Hook Students For Reading And Writing Comprehension Posted By: Bob Therrien

Could a student get interested in reading and writing about sports? Stories, articles and video clips might be able to interest students long enough to read and write their own articles. AdventureZONEsports is a free website sports portal that allows the student to read, write and submit their own stories.

Most of us have heard over and over in the media that our students are lagging in reading and writing skills. It’s been said that poor writing skills is a problem for employers looking to hire graduates. Without these critical skills, it can be an unsuccessful future for our students. As a parent of three children, I have experienced it first hand. Trying to find the hook, to keep the child interested seems to be the biggest challenge.

Using the web as a resource is something many schools are adding to their mix. Integrating the internet into home school and the classroom may be worth a try. The internet has a huge amount of information resources and could help, if used wisely. A parent or teacher could post the internet address and bookmark it for the student.archery ATV basketball cycling dirtbike dodgeball fencing iceboating kayak landsailing
