How May I Help You?

     Are you looking for some new ways to extend your literacy activities?  Do you have some avid readers who need some new challenges?  Do you have some challenged readers who need to become avid readers?  There are an abundance of web based literacy materials available for no cost.  While I can provide you with links to get you started, you may also want to venture into some literacy projects.  I'd be delighted to help you in any way.  Send me an email so we can arrange to talk about your needs.  Meanwhile, here are some links to web based literacy activities:

Tech Tip

     Did you know that you could save a web site to your computer?  In fact it is recommended to save important web sites that are keys to your  lessons.  You won't have to worry about the web site disappearing or technical difficulties.  The web pages will also load more quickly.   The directions for saving web sites might seem a little tricky at first, but I'd be glad to help you!  You will find directions on saving, or caching, web sites on my web site at:
