Some Really Cool Sites

Here are some sites that I have enjoyed perusing:

http://more.starfall.com - I love the fact that this web site uses a variety of different methods for reading development and reading enjoyment. The use of the word machine is very clever and it even incorporates music into the learning activities......always a plus in my book!

www.readinga-z.com - This site features free downloads and is the greatest cheerleader for differentiated instruction strategies.

http://abcteach.com - This is a great site for reading comprehension strategies for middle and high school. These sites are hard to come by especially since they have free downloads.

www.funbrain.com - My son and I had so much fun playing the word games on this site.

www.readwritethink.org - I think this is my favorite site. Musicians analyze songs all of the time to better portray the character and mood of a piece. This web site helps teachers to write lesson plans that concentrate on the critical thinking skills that students will need to analyze texts.

www.smarttutor.com -  This site is an individualized resource for parents and teachers with free games and downloads. I love the fact that it has links for special needs children and gifted children.
