Reading

It's hard to separate reading resources from other literacies

[|Reading Hats -] which ones do you wear?

Literacy Circles - Small groups of students gather together to discuss a piece of literature in depth

Book Suggestions

[|Reading Together], is an interactive reading one where you can change parts of the text to suit you and you get to change the characters in the story as well.

[|Online Leveled Books] - ebooks, non-fiction with teacher resources

[|Book Reports] - Alternatives to writing the dreaded book report

[|Summarisation Techniques]- //When// you use summarization techniques—at the beginning, middle, or end of a unit or lesson—is, of course, up to you. And it doesn't matter if your students' learning experience involves reading text, watching a video, touring on a field trip, participating in a simulation activity, creating masterful artwork, or memorizing by rote. These techniques will prove their worth as useful tools within any discipline because, through summarization, you will be able to improve each student's comprehension and give each student's long-term memory the boost it needs.

[|Create Readers]- Book reviews by the National Library

[|Instructables]- it instructs readers, but not on how to know stuff, but on how to make stuff. In the virtual age we have adapted to, actually doing something sticks out like a flashing neon sign. What can you make? Thousands of things. What kinds of things? You name it. Cool clocks, cheap robots, plastic from scratch—even brain controlled wheelchairs. And before you say to yourself, "these people have too much time on their hands," check it out. I see dozens if not hundreds of cool, low cost school projects here. This is a genuinely user-driven site aimed at educating and empowering the innovator within on a limited budget.
