Excellent resource..thanks for sharing!!
What a great site. Thank you very much for finding this and sharing it with us. I will be sending this to the teachers in my district. Keep up the great work!
My kids are always stunned when I introduce them to Storyline Online. I don’t think it ever occurs to them that celebrities and people outside of the classroom read. It is a great way to get them interested in reading and shows them that reading is universally enjoyed.
