I am currently working to obtain licensure to teach elementary school and I am most interested in 3rd and 4th grade. One of my professors has asked for internet resources specific to literacy for elementary students. Do any of you have any favorite websites that you use in your classrooms? Would you be willing to share? I'd be happy to receive PMs too! Thanks so much!

My students and I love this site http://www.ahisd.net/campuses/cambridge/library/chilauth.html It's a list of many children's authors with links to their websites. My students are special ed K-3, so I often have to read the information to them. but they enjoy learning about authors after we've read their books. Then there's BookPals Storyline Online http://www.storylineonline.net/ This site features celebrities reading children's books and has activity ideas for teachers to use. Kids love to have stories read to them at all ages and seeing famous people read helps to make reading "cool". This is one of my favorite sites. |

Good grief! I can't believe how many links are bad on that page now! I'll try to contact the site owners about it and see if they're planning on updating the links; it looks like a couple of the links to go publishing sites that have updated and either changed or eliminated their author pages. |

Thanks, Molly! Those are all great! In my own search I came across this one http://www.webenglishteacher.com that I thought was excellent. I like that it covers ALL ages and like the first link that Sandy posted, it has an area that links directly to author websites.

Great site, LeeAnne! That's one I hadn't come across before. I have so many bookmarked, but they're on my work computer and we don't go back for a few more weeks. |
