This helpful checklist of reading and writing skills outlines what parents should expect to see from their children at each grade level. The site provides reading lists and practical tips for helping students to hone their language arts skills.

In the Classroom

Use these "standards" as a means of checking student achievement, and being sure to align objectives and assignments with these general expected skills. It might be a good idea to show these objectives to students at the beginning of the year, to give them a good idea of what to expect.

The famous 1940 expedition around Baja California, made by John Steinbeck and Edward Ricketts, was carefully retraced by a team of biologists in spring of 2004. Their observations of invertebrates found along the intertidal zone are documented in an online log. Visitors can compare the recent findings with what Steinbeck recorded in his 1951 book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez. This site provides a great opportunity to integrate environmental science and literature.

Add this Kenn Nesbitt poetry site to your resource of kid-friendly poetry. This site is a treasure with podcasts, a rhyming dictionary, games, videos, tips and lessons for kid to write poetry. Browse through dozens of examples and choose a few to illustrate rhyme scheme, meter, or alliteration. These are not literary masterpieces, but they will engage your most resistant students, and perhaps inspire some original poetry. If your school blocks YouTube, the videos won't be viewable.

In the Classroom

Ask your students to choose a favorite poem from this site and use it as a model for their own poem. Have them pay attention to the rhythm and rhyme of the poem they like. Create a class book of poems using Book Creator, reviewed here.

Use this site as a learning center or station during a unit on folk tales and short stories. This would be a great way to encourage ELL's and lower achieving readers to become interested in reading. Have students watch the stories on classroom computers, creating a timeline of the story, establishing the chain of events. This is a great way to get students thinking about timelines, and help those who are aided by the visual elements of the site. Make sure to include headphones so that students won't disturb others.

Reinforce basic literacy skills through interactive activities that involve letter and numeral writing, word recognition, color, and shape. Early elementary students will enjoy the variety of games and activities that work best as supplements to offline instruction in the classroom or at home. Available in English, Spanish, French, and German.

In the Classroom

Though it may seem simplistic, this would make a really great resource for an ELL classroom or a basic Spanish, French or German class. Use the alphabet section as a learning center on classroom computers, allowing them to practice pronunciation and mimic what they are hearing on the site. This would be helpful for students who are auditory learners, and just need more practice with some of the basics. Make sure to include headphones on this site, insuring that students don't disturb others around them.
