Read & Respond Now Provides Instant Feedback with Answer Explanations

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If there’s one thing we love here at Flocab HQ, it’s teacher feedback. (Okay, we also love pie and Spanish lessons, but that’s something else entirely…)

When we launched Read & Respond—our reading passages and prompts tool—this summer, we made it clear that we wanted to hear from you, the awesome educators who use and, in turn, help improve Flocabulary. Already, your feedback has inspired changes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vcex_heading style=”bottom-border-w-color” text=”What’s New with Read & Respond?” color=”#f65412″ inner_bottom_border_color=”#121218″ inner_bottom_border_color_main=”#ffffff”][vcex_spacing size=”10px”][vc_column_text]Now, Read & Respond activities will include explanations for correct answers. Students select their answer and when they confirm it, are provided with an explanation for the correct answer.

Here’s how it works:[/vc_column_text][vcex_spacing size=”10px”][vc_single_image image=”8771″ css=”.vc_custom_1473451633172{border-top-width: 2px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;border-left-color: #f65412 !important;border-right-color: #f65412 !important;border-top-color: #f65412 !important;border-bottom-color: #f65412 !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vcex_heading style=”bottom-border-w-color” text=”Why Make This Change?” color=”#f65412″ inner_bottom_border_color=”#121218″ inner_bottom_border_color_main=”#ffffff”][vcex_spacing size=”10px”][vc_column_text]When students can get instant feedback, not just that they were correct but also why they were correct, it both helps them articulate their rationale for their answer and further motivates their investment in the content.

This new addition to Read & Respond also provides the perfect opportunity for students to experience the higher-order thinking skills that are essential to the 21st century learner’s toolkit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vcex_heading style=”bottom-border-w-color” text=”What’s Next?” color=”#f65412″ inner_bottom_border_color=”#121218″ inner_bottom_border_color_main=”#ffffff”][vcex_spacing size=”10px”][vc_column_text]Good question. All future Read & Respond activities will have correct answer explanations, and we’re quickly adding them to existing units with Read & Respond, too.
