I found a blog that I think will be especially helpful for parents and teachers wanting to help their children with beginning reading skills: http://beginningreadinghelp.blogspot.com/ .

Also, check out the Animoto video of our Storybook Christmas near the bottom of the page.

Here is another site that parents and teachers may find helpful for their students:
http://www.smarttutor.com/home/. It is an elementary program for helping to build skills in reading and math.

I just checked out iknowthat.com. You may sign up for a free account that will give you access to games in pre-k through 6th grade and in many subject areas. The Punctuation Paintball in 1st grade language arts was fun! There are also home and school subscriptions available.
