Literacy Planet
Literacy Planet is an online literacy resources that aims to develop students' skills while engaging and motivating them with their own literacy education. The site targets all areas of literacy - Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Vocabulary, Reading Fluency, Grammar and Comprehension to ensure a collective educational experience.
For teachers, Literacy Planet can be a tool for extending on literacy education, both in the classroom and outside of school hours. Learning exercises are provided for students that can be set as class tasks, allowing independent work that can be monitored remotely. Teachers are able to use diagnostic tools to evaluate students skills, generated reports allow progress to be mapped and results compared.
Teachers can trust that students are completing work before simply 'playing games' as credit must be built up (from completing tasks) before they can access these areas of the site. Differentiation is possible as teachers have the opportunity to set whole class, group or individual tasks - ensuring all students have the ability to complete the work.
Training sessions are available for parents and teachers to learn how to effectively use Literacy Planet for their students education.

Recommendation
Literacy Planet is a highly effective classroom resource that I have witnessed engage students with literacy learning and build their confidence with their own abilities. The comprehensive approach to literacy education means all skills are being developed collaboratively, strengthening the links between the literacy areas. The teacher controls allow independent learning that is monitored, differentiated and controlled. I believe this website to be a valuable asset for teachers.
