Sunshine Online
An effective literacy program delivered digitally!
Sunshine Online is available in two options –
Managed and Unmanaged.
Managed requires a school administrator who sets up classes, teachers and students with individual usernames and passwords. All their work is saved and can be viewed by teachers at any time.
Unmanaged has one username and password for the entire school. Students’ work is only available to view while they are using the program.
Our program offers teachers over 800 carefully levelled e-books for whole class teaching using an interactive whiteboard – perfect for shared reading in literacy and for tuning into maths concepts in the numeracy block. It is also designed for small group teaching and individualised learning using classroom computers. The program’s flexibility allows it to be used in all parts of your literacy and numeracy program.
- Over 800 e-books (Levels 1-30+)
- Over 2000 interactive activities focussing on phonics and words, comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, fluency and writing
- For use on all devices
FICTION E-BOOKS
Sunshine Online includes a great selection of highly engaging texts by different authors. Most of the titles are animated to bring the story to life and offer narration and text highlighting to support thereader. Each e-book is followed by up to three interactive activities.
NON-FICTION E-BOOKS
The non-fiction e-books feature high-interest and age-appropriate topics. The texts are multimodal and help students make meaning through the use of embedded video clips, animations, audio, images and text. Many of the texts are ideal for inquiry-based learning and support STEM education.
