Ten Million Reading Passages and Counting on Voyager Ticket to Read Program
DALLAS, February 25, 2009- Students can't seem to get enough of the online reading program created by Voyager Expanded Learning(R) known as Ticket to Read(TM). Last Thursday, more than 100,000 students logged on to the program in a single day and on Friday, the 10 millionth passage was read by a student at William and Mary Scherkenbach Elementary School, part of Clark County Public School District in Las Vegas.
Students continue to use the program because they enjoy the easy access to stories, games and rewards that keep them motivated to learn to read. Teachers and parents like the program not only because the children are excited to use it, but more importantly, because it helps increase their reading skills.
"My students and I love Ticket to Read. This program is great for reading comprehension, vocabulary enhancement and reinforcement of the various reading skills," says a New York teacher. "It motivates the children to read and is very interactive as well."
Ticket to Read is an easy-to-access and easy-to-use website designed to increase phonics skills, reading fluency, comprehension and vocabulary through increased practice at home and at school. Designed for all students, including struggling and proficient readers, the embedded reward system motivates students to spend more time reading.
Ticket to Read provides students with different options as they practice their reading skills. They can participate in phonics activities, read high-interest passages at increasing levels of difficulty, take passage quizzes and also earn points to use in building virtual toys and customizing their personal clubhouse. Students can independently practice important reading skills at school, home, library or anywhere there is Internet access. The program is targeted to students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
