Rocket Reader Program

I think that the Rocket Reader program is great for children. It uses different techniques that are essential to improving a child's reading. It improves their reading skills, enhances speed and comprehension and expands their vocabulary. Its important that children develop good reading skills at a early age before bad habits develop. The children learn at their own pace. I like that the child gets immediate feedback on his/her work. The program also improves the children's confidence. By building the children's confidence, it will encourage them to want to read more. The website offers a lot of topics that target student's interest that they will enjoy reading. The program is easy to use and fun. This is a good thing. If they feel confident and enjoy it, they will read more and their reading skills will improve daily.

You stated, "Its important that children develop good reading skills at a early age before bad habits develop."

How true! This program can help teachers develop these skills.

Thanks for your comments!

I also liked how you noted that it is important for students to develop good reading skills at an early age. I feel like it is very important that school is the number one influence in a student developing reading skills instead of outside the classroom resources that can lead to the development of bad habits.
