PM eCollection
Support reading at school and at home with PM eCollection
The PM eCollection re-imagines guided and independent reading for the digital age. We’ve taken the proven strength of our pedagogically sound, carefully levelled PM collection and digitised the books, each being completely redesigned for compatibility with any device, to optimise the reading experience of learners in the digital age.
The PM eCollection comprises three pillars:
We've taken the proven strength of our pedagogically sound, carefully levelled books in the PM Collection and digitized the books for use on any device. The 450 titles are from PM Levels 1–30.
We've designed an eReader specifically for guided and independent reading. The features of our eReader support students in using PM eBooks to learn to read.
We've created a sophisticated website for teachers and administrators to easily manage students' guided and independent reading experiences.
The Content
Each PM eCollection eBook has been designed for optimal digital use, while retaining the same pedagogical underpinnings as the original PM Collection.
Purpose-built features to enhance students' reading experience with the PM eBooks include:
- audio support – students can hear individual words or a full page of text
- My Words – students can add words to their personalized My Words list
- Record – students can record themselves reading their PM eBook
- Edit – students and teachers can edit the text
- Draw and Add Notes – students and teachers can draw and add notes to the PM eBooks.
The eReader App
The PM eCollection eReader app allows students and teachers to choose a reading profile based on the needs of learners in specific situations.
- The Guided Reading profile disables the audio and record functionality so that distractions are minimized.
- The Independent Reading profile enables the audio and record functionality, offering full support for students reading on their own.
- The Custom Reading profile allows the user to enable or disable My Words and audio functionality, and show or hide the text to create opportunities for retelling and other oral literacy activities.
The Website
The PM eCollection website offers teachers and administrators powerful planning, management and assessment functionality. It is here you are able to create, edit and manage:
- student profiles
- reading groups (both class and small groups)
- reading sessions for guided and independent reading. Rich assessment data is stored in students' profiles. Each student profile includes:
- the student's current PM level and reading age
- the number of eBooks the student opened
- the recordings the student made
- the words the student added to My Words
- a graph showing the student's progress over time and reading history.
