Wonderopolis is a great tool to use in your classroom for informational texts. I like during Daily 5 to have the kids, for read to self, go explore the Wonder of the Day. I wanted to post their website to my classroom Facebook page for my students and families to have access to over the summer. During the summer students lose reading skills they had gained during the school year. I'm trying to boost summer literacy to help retain skills for the following school year. When I went to their website it took me to Camp Wonderopolis. I was like, "what is this?" I had to start exploring it! The first thing I saw is that it is FREE!!!
I found the tour option and I quickly began exploring. Not only is their summer program about reading and vocabulary, but there are also experiments! They've created a Wonder Wall where posts have been uploaded with quick interesting facts for students to read or watch. The program motivates students to earn Wonder Cards. Their progress is charted within the site on their login page. Students can share out their progress too! What is really catchy is they created the Seven Wonders for the program. How cute is that?! I highly suggest you check this out - ITS FREE!!!!!
