Lit2Go: MP3 Stories and Poems

If you would rather just download an audio file (MP3) and print out a copy of the text and follow along, Lit2Go is your place. It would be good if the kid had an MP3 player or just a flash drive. You could put the audio files on there, print out a copy of the text, and then send him on his way to read/listen at his leisure without being attached to the computer. Not very visually friendly, but you can click on SEARCH DATABASE to search by reading level!

Learn to Read at Starfall - teaching comprehension and phonics

Starfall is unique in that it begins with the basics (ABCs), moves through sounds, and finally reads aloud with the kid. It doesn't require any account or anything! Also, the stories in the "I'm Reading" section are clickable. So the kid can click on the words to have them read for him if he has trouble. Great resource because it begins with the basics and then builds from there. Awesome!

Education at the crossroads

  • School was the big thing for a long time. School is tests and credits and notetaking and meeting standards. Learning, on the other hand, is 'getting it'. It's the conceptual breakthrough that permits the student to understand it then move on to something else. Learning doesn't care about workbooks or long checklists.

    For a while, smart people thought that school was organized to encourage learning. For a long time, though, people in the know have realized that they are fundamentally different activities.
