On this lovely Saturday school, I thought I would take some time to share several sites that could be used by parents, teachers, or any educator!
Picture books, current events, early readers, magazines, and music books!
If you’re getting ready to send students home for track-out, you may want to share a list of mobile reading apps that can help families combat the track-out slide. Looking for apps that allow families to focus on reading easily throughout the summer, track-outs, or holidays is a great way to keep reading and critical thinking skills current. Apps are also a great tool to use because students can guide themselves through reading with help from apps.

Here Is How to Teach Writing Using Technology
When it comes to enhancing students writing skills, technology can play a decisive role. One key concept in this discussion is viewing writing as a process instead of an end product. Process here insinuates a state of unfinishedness because writing is always a task in the making. Students are continuously engaged in a never-ending process of discovery and sense making through the use of language. In this regard, the writing process is comprised of several phases or stages each of which has a specific role in creating and enhancing students writing skills. This process is composed of four main stages: pre-writing, writing, revising, and publishing. The purpose of this link is to provide you with a number of tools and apps to help your students' writing needs in each of these stages.
