CommonLit has Reading Strategies Games that you might want to investigate. Check them out to see if they might be useful for you, or look at some of the other tools they have to offer. 

Hapara allows you to focus your students' browsing by forcing them to visit specific sites. Did you know that it can also block sites from being opened? Create filtered sessions where you enter the url/domain name of sites that you don't want your students to be able to visit. These filters can last for up to 3 hours, so with just a couple of them created you can block YouTube or CoolMathGames for an entire school day:)

Let me know if you'd like some help setting this up.

Vallivue School District does many things to support its staff. 

My job is to help you implement technology in your classroom to be effective and impactful for your students. 

Please contact me with your tech questions or help requests. If I don't know the answer I can always find one, or point you in the direction of someone who can.
