PreK-Grade 3
Inspired by the Research
√ 1 out of every 3 children in America enters kindergarten without the requisite skills for success in reading.
Scholastic BookFlix is a digital literacy resource
that pairs classic storybooks with related nonfiction
titles to build a love of reading and learning.
The BookFlix Value
√ High-interest, interactive content engages early readers, reluctant readers, and English Language
Learners (ELLs) in PreK - Grade 3.
√ Paired fact and fiction titles reinforce early reading skills and introduce children and their families to
a world of knowledge and exploration.
√ Remote access allows students to use the program to improve their oral language and reading
comprehension skills at home or anywhere else with an internet connection.
√ Engaging nonfiction ensures that the youngest learners receive the information they need at their reading
level and in the critical core content areas.
BookFlix Core Content
√ Students develop and improve understanding of letter-sound relationships by listening to and following
along with human-voice narration. A read-along feature highlights words as the narrator reads, reinforcing
phonological and phonemic awareness skills.
√ Phonics Students develop decoding skills on the computer by seeing the text highlighted word-by-word
while hearing it read aloud. Detailed lesson plans provide pre- and post-viewing activities that strengthen
sound- and letter-recognition skills.
√ Vocabulary Content-area and key vocabulary terms are identified, defined, and read aloud in the eBooks
in a variety of topics and genres.
√ Fluency Students listen to modeled readings from a selection of classic fiction and non-fiction titles in a
variety of topics and genres.
√ Comprehension Teachers preview books to draw on children’s prior knowledge, discuss context clues,
and encourage children to picture and describe what they read. Students develop comprehension strategies
such as making predictions, rereading, summarizing, sequencing events, etc.
√ On the first day of kindergarten, children living in public assistance households will have heard 32 million fewer
words than their peers living in households with professional parents.
√ Most American students across grade levels are reading at the most basic level. Only about 30 percent of
high school students read proficiently, and more than a quarter read below grade level.
√ Reports indicate declining interest and ability in reading.
√ Research shows families need various supports to empower them to fulfill their critical educational support roles.
Leading the Way in Digital and Print Nonfiction
Scholastic is the leader in digital and print nonfiction.
Our priority is developing exciting, relevant nonfiction content that
engages English language learners and provides them with the
academic vocabulary and essential knowledge required for success
in the content areas.
We are designing our online resources with innovative tools to help
both students who are substantially behind in their reading skills as
well as ELL students who are seeking to overcome a language
barrier.
The need for strong literacy skills is more
urgent than ever in the 21st century.
Today’s generation of students has unprecedented access to
information, as both consumers and producers. The use of
information communication technologies is ubiquitous in schools,
workplaces, and homes, and the globalization of economies has
made it more important than ever to communicate effectively for a
wide variety of audiences and purposes. In today’s increasingly
interconnected, dynamic, and information-rich world, proficient
reading, writing, and critical thinking skills are essential to success.
