Free-Reading.net

Designed by a New York-based educational start-up, Wireless Generation, the reading program for kindergartners and first-graders allows teachers to post their own lessons, comments and modifications in what the company says is a “wiki” application. The site even looks like Wikipedia.

This is the same person who turned the DIBELS reading test into a money making venture.

Snakes and Ladders

BBC.com out of the United Kingdom produces a number of wonderful online activities. My favorite is a game of ‘Snakes and Ladders’ which you can play with a friend or by yourself. Watch the die roll itself when you click on it, then move the red markers the correct number of squares (if you don’t, the marker goes back to the square it was on).
