Reading Planet: Online Reading Club

RIF's Reading Planet online reading club has lots of fun reading games and activities for kids. My 7 year old loves it. Online features include four sections : Activity Lab, Game Station, Book Zone and Express Yourself. Some fun activities offered are :

  • Online Reading Log
  • Super Sorter Robot Book Picker [Really fun! Just step right into the robot's room, and answer some simple questions. The Super Sorter will give you a list of books and activities you might like to try.]
  • Birthday Fortune Teller {What's in store for you this year?}
  • Read interviews {recent interviews include the star of the new Nancy Drew movie}
  • Book Zone Featured Books & Authors
  • "My Bookshelf"

Learning games include:

  • Star Words: Navigate the Reading Planet rocket ship through space and collect the letters to spell words.
  • Sink It 'n Solve It: Got game? Try to make free throw shots to win the basketball game as you solve a mystery word puzzle.
  • Writers' Blocks: Write stories with other kids! Once a month, you can read the beginning of a story and add your own ideas until the story is complete.
  • Poetry Splatter: Get ready to create poems! Start by splattering words onto the screen and drag them into your poem.
  • Story Maker : Pick a scene, answer a few questions, and we will start your own personalized story.
  • Riffington's Coloring Book: Check out the online coloring book where you can color & print lots of fun pages!
  • Word Builder: Choose a word list and make your very own word puzzle to print out.

Check it out! Free registration required [only limited personal information required to register, and parent receives emails]. Reading is Fundamental {RIF} is the oldest and largest children's and family nonprofit literacy organization in the United States.
