Once a child is on their way to decoding fluently, the next step is to turn them into a confident reader. Giglets supports teachers in developing fluency, comprehension and a love of reading in their classrooms. Supporting reading at the whole class, group and individual level, Giglets helps teachers to engage every child and enrich their reading journey.
Whole-class reading
Adaptable for use on interactive whiteboards or smaller screens, Giglets offers a powerful way to support whole-class shared reading.
A variety of ready-made questions are aligned to each text, including ‘before reading' questions, automatically marked comprehension questions, and prompts for developing higher order thinking skills.
Engaging every child
Giglets harnesses the power of multimedia to support children’s reading, with rich illustrations, music, videos, animations and audio. Giglets is designed to engage pupils, maintain motivation and ensure reading is an enjoyable experience for all. With Giglets, teachers can personalise every child’s reading journey. Texts can be allocated that match an individual child’s reading ability, accompanied by a range of text specific tasks to provide appropriate challenges and support in developing children’s comprehension, fluency and confidence.
Developing independence
Giglets' comprehension quizzes offer instant feedback to pupils, helping them to understand their misconceptions, revise key areas of learning and develop their comprehension strategies. This instant feedback and opportunity for self-correction is essential for building reading skills and confidence. Teachers can further support this process by embedding prompts and notes while pupils themselves have a number of tools to help them interrogate the text, promoting active learning and engagement.
Clear reporting that guides next steps in learning
Automatically marked comprehension quizzes save teachers time and the instant reports provide valuable insights into successful learning and areas for review. Additionally, the teacher can identify pupils who require further support or additional challenge.
