Gamify Literacy: Boost Comprehension, Collaboration and Learning

First, let me say that this is one of the best books about gamification that I have read. Rather than spending so much time telling you what gamification is and why research says it should work, it gets down to brass tacks and gives you honest-to-goodness real ideas that you can use and adapt for your own classroom. It doesn't speak about things like leaderboards and XP in vague terms; you get to see how actual teachers are using them. If you have done the research and are already convinced that gamification is something you want to try but are not confident in your own creative ability, this is the book for you. I also like the inclusion of the ISTE standards for each chapter.The main reason I give it four instead of five stars is that the Kindle version has a lot of errors, and they interrupt the flow of reading. Hopefully, someone will go back and edit more carefully.

This is a great book to help.someone looking to gamify the classroom. If you are interested but not sure how to do so,this will give you the ideas you need to start the journey.

Overall a great resource. Lots of ideas for Language Arts! I've used Classcraft in my student teaching and I think if used starting out with a fresh group of students could really pull in some of the students who struggle witj school.

This is a wonderful book on gamification, but the title is completely misleading. There was nothing in the book having to do with literacy or boosting comprehension, as it leads us to believe. If you are looking for a book with lots of ideas on gamification, this is a great resource. If you are specifically looking for ELA ideas, this is not the book for you.

Order received on time, but quality of brand new book was not good. The cover had imprints and bends. The spine, back of book, and pages have black scruffs on them. Not the usual condition of books I purchase. When I order a new book. I expect it to be new book quality, especially for the price you pay.
