What is Pageticker?
Pageticker is an online reading record. There's a dashboard for teachers and an app for parents. Parents and teachers can maintain a beautiful record of every book their child has ever read, and support them in finding exciting, appropriate new books to read.
On Pageticker, teachers can assign or recommend a book. This article will explain the difference.
Assigned books
Pupils should always have one assigned book in their book stack.
This is the book that you, as the teacher, are wanting them to read.
It might be a book linked with a phonics scheme, or a class reader, from a reading scheme or something similar.
Sometimes suggestions will appear at the top of the assigned books list. This will be books that you might like to choose to assign, based on their current level and if it is part of one of the reading schemes we have uploaded on our system.
Recommended books
Recommended books are books that you might choose to suggest to a child, based on your knowledge of their interests as an individual.
It could be that a child is looking for another book to read, or they ask you for a recommendation. This is where you can recommend rather than assigning a book and there aren't any limits to the number of books you can recommend.
In the future, we will have lots of features coming to support schools with recommending books to pupils. Sign up here, to stay in touch with us and to find out more about Pageticker.
