great websites to share

Good afternoon from still warm and sunny Arizona. :)

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows about these two wonderful websites:

http://www.colorincolorado.org/

This is a bilingual site for families and educators who are helping children become successful readers. Tons of downloadable info' in both Spanish and English.

Here's where the website's name comes from:

The name "Colorín Colorado" comes from a playful phrase that is often said at the end of stories in Spanish-speaking countries. There's no literal translation, but the phrase is similar to "…and that's the end of the story!" or "…and they lived happily ever after."

This site is another reading site with an emphasis on best practices for struggling readers.
