6. [] Reading comprehension passages

7. [] Lots of LA stuff here that is interactive! Nice site! Related to #6.

8. [] Tons of interactive LA activities. This one is my favorite!!!! 9. [|http://teenreads.com] This isn't a real interactive site, but I think it's a great resource. It's a site that reviews new books for teens. The reviews are also archived, so the collection of reviews is pretty large. Some of the books are more appropriate for high school students. 10. [|http://guysread.com] This is a site that lists books interesting to guys. In the past, I have suggested to the guys in my classes that read to they add to this site when they find a book they like. It's one that is growing slowly, but would be very helpful.

This website was mentioned on Channel One today, and I thought that it was really interesting. I thought some of you might be interested, also. I will put it up on Wikispace, as well. I sent it to some FMS teachers, also. Have fun!
