Readingo is a reading-incentive scheme that encourages readers to explore a wide variety of texts. A grid is filled with examples of different texts, or types of texts. As the student reads each text, the square is coloured to indicate the reader’s response to it; for instance, red for brilliant, blue for good, green for okay, or yellow for awful. There are two types of Readingo grids: closed and open. A closed grid is created when specific titles are listed; for example, columns or rows might list particular texts from different learning areas. Closed grids enable the teacher to exercise more influence over the students’ reading; however, they require consideration of reader ability and text difficulty. The Readingo sheet can be used as a partial record of personal reading habits.
To complete the activity, students:
• choose one of the texts on the grid;
• read it;
• colour the square and
• choose another text from the grid to continue on the path horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
