Hope you are all relaxing and resting for next week.
For those of you who teach reading in the primary grades or ESL, I suggest that you look at some of the reading sites on my home page. These are on the second page of resources and listed under Reading Games, Kids Sites for Reading, and ESL.
Teachers Net http:theteachersnet.org/reading.htm
Take a quick look at: Starfall http://starfall.com
RIF Reading Planet listen-to stories
http://www.rif.org/readingplanet/bookzone/default.mspx
and the list of elementary sites listed under ESL.
If you teach middle school or high school literature, you should be familiar with
Spark Notes http://sparknotes.com and Pink Monkey.
If your own children are learning to read, they might also enjoy these.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for all of your great tips! It's been fun just "surfing"!
See you tomorrow night!

Hi Mary,
I love Starfall. It is a great place for emergent readers. The books are fun, interactive, and words can be read for extra support. Starfall is also easy to use with only simple mouse skills needed. My students particularly love the Build a Snowman story.

HI Mary,
Thanks for showing me the RIF. I will share that with my teachers.

These sites look great. I know we use Starfall. I'm going to send them to my sister, as she teaches kindergarten in South Bend and needs all the resources she can get. Jamie
