In high school and even elementary school, my teachers would give us a book or an assignment to read and it would be very hard for me to read and comprehend what I just read. There were hardly any worksheets that dealt with the book or any exercises that were related to a topic that we were reading. It was frustrating to be reading these stories in my English class and when done reading, only remember the last few pages I had read.
I have heard of sparknotes in high school and used it a couple of times, but some of the stories and books I was reading in high school I could never find on that site. It was frustrating because I did not fully understand what I was reading and in class all we did was read and do other assignments and never go and review what we read.
I came upon this website PinkMonkey.com and there are things on there such as study guides, outlines chapter by chapter, gives you tips on how to study more efficiently, and even a digital library that helps you find the book you are looking for a little bit faster.
This website is good for students who have problems with reading a chapter and remembering what was in that chapter. There are many ways to study for an upcoming quiz or even learn the lingo of the book. It opens up more doors into learning the story you are reading instead of just reading it because you have to. All students can have the opportunity to know a book well after using this site because it engages the student to do more than review, it gives a lot more options and a variety to learn.

I believe site like Pink Monkey are very useful in education. Many times I have found myself in the position where I didn't understand reading I have read and have gone to sites like the one above and it really puts it in a simpler understanding.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great site. I also used Spark Notes a lot in High School. I will for sure have to try it out! I agree that it could be a very useful tool in education.
