We want to help them see it not as some chore to be endured, but as -- dare we say it? -- the gift of a lifetime. How? Through the language of our time -- the language of video. Video that's focused, engaging, informative ... and short enough to hold just about anyone's attention. With the 60second Recap, teens finally have an alternative to the boring, text-based study guides that have burdened them for generations. And -- who knows? -- maybe that's just what they'll need to begin a love affair with literature, one that will last a lifetime.-------------------------An impressive web site for spelling and vocabulary.

Introduction and reinforcement of letter sounds, beginning reader activities, calendar activities and just about every holiday is covered at this web site." --Renee Kopf & Pam Krambeck, NETA News (February 2007)-------------------------StorybirdStorybirds are short, art-inspired stories you make to share, read, and print.-------------------------TeAchnologyThis on-line teacher resource includes lesson plans, printable worksheets, preformatted rubrics, printable generators, teaching tips and themes, while listing 256,000 reviewed sites.

This is a site that teachers keep going back to (and they often take their students along for the ride) again and again." --Renee Kopf & Pam Krambeck, NETA News (February 2007)-------------------------The Writing Fix Focus on 6-Trait Writing"We mentioned 'Writing Fix' before when spotlighting sites for language arts but if you dig a bit deeper in the site you will find the link we have above that deals specifically with the 6-Trait Writing Process. As one teacher told us, you can't create a list of great writing sites without including 'Writing Fix!" Primary teachers have found the link to literature prompts helpful when lesson planning for writing. The 'revision Post-Its' that are included for each trait are great. One of the teachers we spoke with used these as inspiration to create her own prompts using the drawing tools in MS?Word." --Renee Kopf & Pam Krambeck, NETA News (September 2007) ................
