Online Activities

Boy at ComputerTake your class on a reading adventure by visiting the RIF Reading Planet. Encourage your students to try some of the following activities that they can do at school, home, or anywhere.




  • Poetry Splatter
    Kids can create silly poems by splattering words onto the screen and dragging them to blank spots in a poem. They'll have lots of fun building poetry.

  • Super Sorter
    Kids just answer a few questions, and the Super Sorter will tell them what kinds of books and activities they might like to try.

  • Writers’ Blocks
    Kids join together to build a story block by block. In this monthly feature, students are given a "story starter," and they are asked to finish the story by adding their own ideas.

  • Story Maker
    Students can make their own personalized story! They can choose a setting for the story and drag different objects onto this setting. Then students enter information about themselves, and we create a story that's unique to them!

  • Illustrate a Story
    Students simply print out the book of their choice, illustrate it, and create a fun book they can read again and again.

  • Send a Postcard
    Students can choose from eight different designs and send a postcard to tell friends or family members all about their reading adventures!

  • Word Builder
    Students can choose a word list and make their very own word search puzzles.

  • Book Zone
    Students can publish their own book reviews. Once a child has read a book, he can go to the Book Zone and search for it by title or author, or browse for it by category. Once he's found the right book, he can click on it to rate and review it.
