Websites for Reading and Writing
All of these websites provide tutorials for reading. The last website on the list is the most comprehensive and has practice lessons for all subject areas, plus instruction modules for computer skills.
"One of the hardest tasks of the writer is to read what is on the page, not what the writer hoped would be on the page." Donald Murray |

Supporting Student Literacy
Read to them. Read a magazine, newspaper or book with the student. Compare thoughts. Each of you can talk about what you were thinking and visualizing as you read the material. Notice how each of you organizes thoughts and makes connections. Compare your reading strategies and explain to each other how the reading strategies help comprehension.
