Starfall.com opened in September of 2002 as a free public service and has been teaching children to read with phonics ever since.

This link to the Oxford English Dictionary is an invaluable resource for Middle School ELA and Secondary Ed English teachers.

Because the OED is concerned with word origins, I believe it would be helpful in creating bridges with ELL students as well, giving them a chance to see the linguistic contributions their language has made to ours. Check out the link in the lower center column for teachers and students (resources and lesson plans).
