Words are like teenagers.

They are manageable individually, but once they start hanging out with each other, it can be difficult to figure out how they work as a whole.

Any parent or teacher who has taught a child to read will tell you that interpreting a text involves two steps. The first step involves decoding and defining individual words. The second (and more important) step is being able to understand what those words mean when they are grouped together as sentences and paragraphs.

Reading comprehension can certainly be difficult for kids with learning disabilities and differences, such as dyslexia, but there are plenty of students who struggle with novels and textbook chapters that are written at comprehension levels higher than their own.

The following reading tools can all be considered assistive technology for students who need them. However, they are available to all students and can be beneficial to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of a particular book, article, blog post, or any other piece of writing. These resources can also help teachers create inclusive classrooms and implement the principles of Universal Design for Learning.

One of the most innovative websites to be developed in the last several years, Rewordify.com is a free online tool that helps improve students' reading comprehension in multiple ways.

First, a user pastes or imports text into a text box on the site. Rewordify then analyzes this text, looking for words and phrases that may be difficult to understand. Once the site locates difficult or problematic language, it replaces it with simpler words to aid students' understanding. The Rewordifying Engine includes multiple settings so that users can choose from several reading levels. Users can click on the replacement words to display either the original, more difficult language or individual words' definitions (in a variety of forms - in the margins, in separate columns, or superimposed over the initial version of the text).

Students also have the option of reading the original and replaced words with built-in text-to-speech functionality for auditory reinforcement.

After Rewordify identifies the difficult words and phrases, it provides students with a series of activities to help them learn new vocabulary. One way it does this is by collecting troublesome text in a series of flashcards (which also offer integrated text-to-speech). The site can also administer quizzes in different formats (e.g., word bank, matching) to aid in the learning process.

Finally, Rewordify has a collection of classic literature (like Shakespeare's plays) and historic documents (like the Declaration of Independence) that students can access, read, and better understand by using the site's unique comprehension tools.

Created for students and teachers, Snap&Read Universal is a Google Chrome extension that reads language aloud (including text on Flash-based websites that typically can't be copied and pasted) using integrated text-to-speech with synchronized highlighting.

To aid in reading comprehension, Snap&Read allows students to use a text-leveling tool similar to the one found on Rewordify.com. Students can select text that they have a hard time understanding, and the Web browser extension will identify and replace difficult words with simpler ones. The level of linguistic complexity can be adjusted in the Options tab.

In addition, Snap&Read has a unique outlining tool that can also help with reading comprehension. After it is activated, students can highlight the main ideas of a reading, and those passages are automatically extracted and placed into an outline located in the browser's sidebar that can be easily edited. The outline can then be dragged and dropped into a word processor, like Google Docs, for students to integrate into a reading summary.

The idea behind Newsela is simple but powerful, and it can have a big impact on developing the reading comprehension of diverse learners. Newsela is a website that publishes current events articles each day on a variety of topics pertaining to most school subjects. Every article has five versions, each written for students at different reading levels. After a student reads the version that matches her skill level, she can take corresponding quizzes to test her knowledge.

A professional subscription to the site allows teachers to integrate Newsela more deeply and meaningfully into their classrooms. For example, they can gather data and track the reading progress of individual students or entire classes. They can also create and assign writing prompts based on particular articles as a means of further assessing their students' comprehension.

All told, Newsela provides a perfect platform for implementing accessible Universal Design for Learning principles - it invites users of various levels and with a range of abilities to participate fully.

Based on the idea that multisensory activities provide deeper and longer-lasting learning, Immersion Reading is an e-book technology that combines recorded audiobooks with synchronized highlighting of electronic text. The result of a partnership between Amazon.com and Audible.com, it allows students to read books with their eyes and ears at the same time, leading to better comprehension and retention of subject matter. Since it does not rely on synthesized text-to-speech and instead uses the vocal performance of a professional actor or broadcaster, it makes auditory reinforcement of written text a more authentic multisensory experience.

Currently, complete Immersion Reading is available using Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet and the Kindle for Android app. Users can also read and listen to books simultaneously on the Kindle for iOS app, but text highlighting is not supported on Apple devices at this time.

Another multisensory strategy for improving reading comprehension involves electronic graphic organizers, and Inspiration Software provides one of the best platforms for accomplishing this task. Available for both desktop computers and iOS devices, Inspiration allows students to create visual representations of the characters, themes, and plot summaries of works of fiction. It also lets them visually map the details of textbook chapters and current events articles. Any language that is included can be read aloud with text-to-speech technology. In addition, users can add links to Web-based articles and videos to provide supporting materials.

One characteristic of Inspiration that sets it apart from other mind-mapping software is its collection of readymade templates. Templates that can aid in reading comprehension include: Character Traits, Fiction Reading Notes, Plot Analysis, Compare and Contrast, and KWL Organizer (KWL is an acronym explaining what students already know, what knowledge they want to gain, and what they ultimately learned from a reading) .

It can be challenging for students to consume large amounts of written material during their academic careers. Nevertheless, getting through their reading assignments with solid comprehension is a key component of a quality education. Today, there are plenty of technology tools to help.

Phrasebook tutorial

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I spend a lot of time looking at different web-based tools and apps and thinking about if and how they can be used for learning. Sometimes it takes some thought and at other times it's really obvious. With Phraseum it was instantly obvious that this was a really great tool for learning.

Phraseum allows you to collect words, phrases and sentences from anywhere on the web while you you browse and organise them into social phrasebooks.

Phraseum is a browser-based tool which can be activated from your browser toolbar. Simply create an account and then drag the 'Clipping button' bookmarklet to your favourites bar on your browser.

Once that's done you can just collect any words or phrases that you find online by highlighting them and then clicking on the bookmarklet. This opens up a window where you can add tags to the phrase and add your own private notes and annotations. The tags could be a definition, translation, part of speech or something about the context in which it could be used. You can then save the phrase into one of your phrasebooks. The phrases and phrasebooks can be private or they can be made public and so shared with others.

If you want to include specific words or phrases from a word document or PDF, you can also just type in the words or phrases you want to include in your phrasebooks, but if you save them from the web then Phraseum also stores a link back to the original source, so you can go back and see how the word or phrase is used in context. You can also get a link from the phrase to a translation from Google Translate.

Phraseum is social, so you can share phrases and phrasebooks with anyone else on the site and follow other people if you like the kinds of things they are saving and sharing. You can also click on any of the tags on your phrase to find other related words or phrases which have been saved by other users and add those to your own collection.

If you use social media with your students you can post the phrases you save through various social media channels so this is a great way to feed information and activities into something like a Facebook group or page or a Twitter feed that you use with students.

All of the entries you make to Phraseum can be edited and changed, so students can always add additional tags, change them and add the same entry to multiple phrasebooks.

Phraseum also enables you to follow people in a similar way to Twitter or Pinterest. If you follow people you can see their public phrasebooks and keep up-to-date with what they are saving.

This is really useful if you are using it with students, as by following them you can easily monitor their work and use the comments feature if you need to help, support or encourage your students.

Here are a few examples of phrasebooks I've created:

How to use Phraseum with students

You could get started just by creating a few of your own useful phrasebooks and sharing them with your students.

If you like to pre-teach vocabulary, a good way to do this would be to create a vocabulary phrasebook from a particular online article you would like your students to read. They can look at the phrasebook before they read and check they understand the vocabulary, or use it as a reference while or after they read.

You could also collect a phrasebook with a collections of more random words and phrases and see if the students can predict the genre or kind of text the phrases came from.

You can collect phrases into a phrasebook and ask students to suggest appropriate tags to add.

If you train your students to use Phraseum then they can start using it to create phrasebooks while they read. They can sort new words into specific groups. They could be grouped according to the source or topic or they could group words according to word classification such as parts of speech or types of collocation.

You can get students to share phrasebooks and crosscheck so that they share vocabulary and check that they have similar definitions or translations of the words.

You can send students on treasure hunts for specific things, for example searching for business related collocations. If they use this as the tag they will then be able to share their results together (any tag you click on shows you all other words and phrases which share that same tag).

Get students to use the phrasebooks to revise and review their vocabulary.

What I like about Phraseum

I love that it works in the browser tool bar. This makes it really easy and quick to access at any time you are online.

I really like the social aspect too. Being able to share and compare phrasebooks with other people is really useful.

It's great that it makes it easy for students to go back to the source of the word or phrase.

Saving phrases really encourages students to think about words within lexical chunks rather than as independent entities.

Phraseum can be used in multiple languages.

It's free.

I think this is a great tool to support more of a lexical approach to online learning. It can also support students digital literacy and study skills. I hope you and your students find Phraseum useful. Be sure to share in the comments any ideas you have for using it with your students.

Well, let's say something you probably know...^_^ I am a  teacher and a rocker with a passion (and specialisation) in CLIL. I am a CLIL teacher trainer, too. I teach in one of the 6 IBI-BEI schools in Italy, with a fantastic project of bilingual education, 100% CLIL. My pupils call me "Miss Angela", and I call them my dwarfs. So we are a sheer fairy tale: Miss Angela and her dwarfs!
I have a degree in Modern Language (specialisation in English and Serbocroatian and philologic address), another degree in Italian Literature and Popular Tratitions. My first book "As you like her" was awarded of the 1st prize for Philology. I am a specialised secondary school teacher, too. And I enter my classes as the rocker I am! :D I play the bass guitar in different bands, above all LABYRINTHUS NOCTIS, and I am part of Rockin'1000, the biggest rock band on earth!
