The Best Websites For Beginning Older Readers

The Best Websites For Beginning Older Readers is a much needed resource and was created to provide appropriate access for older students and adults who have had some formal schooling in their native countries, but who have had no prior experience with the English language. Ferlazzo ranked his top 8 picks, ranging from sight word practice sites (the best one being Basic Sight Words List One where words are taught in context) to reading skills story sites (Reading Skills Stories 1 and Reading Skills Stories 2) that provide leveled, high-interest stories with several follow-up activities for each one. Since my interest is middle school, I was excited to find this list of sites appropriate for older students.
