This is a quirky website that I used in my high school creative writing class. I think that ESLers could use this page to talk about syllables, pronunciation, and of course rhyming. Through a simple search, students could discover a very wide variety of new words from the suggested rhymes on this site. The attention to phoneme-grapheme association (spelling vs. pronunciation) will reinforce emerging literacy skills. Overall, I just find this to be a fun site for generating ideas and word knowledge.

This website is great for reading material. It's a compilation of original poetry and fiction (ranging from flash fiction to short stories to novels). There is also an essay section. Because much of it is unedited, you might need to read through a few to find good quality, but if you're teaching reading/writing, this could be a good resource to have students look at different pieces and compare them. There's also an option to review pieces, so there can be some level of interaction. Do note, however, that content is rated for maturity by the authors, so that can vary.
