From Samara..."An awesome website is called [|bookadventure.com] You can create student accounts. Students read books and take a comprehension quiz. It's a bit time consuming to set up accounts and gather all the books that are on the computer, but worth it. I put them in a tub for students to choose from. They have book from level k-12 and you can search by author or title to see if they have the quiz. They can earn points for rewards or you can make your own incentives. My kids are very excited about reading now!"

From Julie P: [|starfall.com] early literacy materials Interesting Site for teaching "Vocabulary" [|www.wordgeneration.org] it is created for middle school classrooms, however we can make it fit for elementary.
