Internet Sites of Interest

     Many author websites have activities, videos, coloring sheets, and contact information. I especially like Jan Brett's website, http://www.janbrett.com/. She has written many great children's books and you can find something about  all of them on her website. It is great for parents, teachers and students.
     Reading Rockets, http://www.readingrockets.org/, is another website that I liked. It is user friendler for parents and teachers and has links to other sites. It has lessons, activities and reading strategies to help children learn to read.
     I checked out http://www.readwritethink.org/. It has lots of information for teacher including sample activities. However, you have to purchase the actual activities. Most of us have enough expenses and are looking for free information and activities.
     Reading is fundamental, http://www.rif.org/, is a non-profit children's literacy organization whose primary goal is to bring reading motivation to all children, especially the disadvantaged. It is a good website for teachers. There is access to literacy issues, booklists, activities and articles.
