Read & Respond Now Provides Instant Feedback with Answer Explanations

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.

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:

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.
