Teaching and Learning Vocabulary: Bringing Research to Practice - Google Books - 0 views

Taylor reads Boys vs. Girls - YouTube - 0 views

    Taylor, a young girl who struggles with reading, engaged in repeated reading until she could read this text aloud fluently. Her tutor helped her record it and upload it to Youtube. Strong motivation for the research-supported but often boring repeated reading of text.

Books | We Give Books - 1 views

  •  
    Free online library with a dual purpose. Every time a book is read here, Pearson Foundation donates a book to charity causes identified at the site. Books can be searched by age range (0-3, 4-7, & 8-10), author, or genre. Books are presented as Flash files, so most screenreaders will not work with it. Snap & Read by Don Johnston will.
