Websites
- Read, Write, Think: This is a wonderful resources for at home activities, podcasts, how-tos, and print outs for reading and writing at home.
- Goodreads: This is a fabulous resource for finding books your student will be interested in as well as many other tid-bits of information for book fans!
- Fluency: This teacher does a good job of explaining the importance of fluent reading and provides resources to practice fluent reading at home. Remember, repeated reading of a text at the "just right" level of your student helps to build fluency. Reading above ones level can help with other aspects of reading but does not help improve fluency. These passages and more can also be found at McGraw-Hill.
