Pickatale Create - Teachers can easily create engaging personalised books using AI that support curriculum objectives and inspire a love of reading in every student. Tailor books to meet each student’s needs and bring your lessons to life instantly!
Over 90% of books have quizzes at the end. These are multiple-choice questions that reinforce critical thinking skills, including higher-order and Lower-Order Thinking, across the key pillars of comprehension: vocabulary, Retrieval, inference, Sequence/Summary, and Explanation.
The Oxford Schools Dictionary is embedded in books from stage 3 to stage 6+ to enhance vocabulary acquisition for the learner.
Once your students start reading in the Pickatale app, teachers can track their reading performance with the teacher dashboard. Your dashboard is automatically updated with comprehension quiz results, when students were last logged in, how much they’ve read and more!
