On-line dictionary for ELL/ESL learners.

A reading website for students. The best part is, students don't realize they are reading. They are too busy having fun!

A website designed to promote reading using phonics for prekindergarten to second grade. Students can practice skills through the use of songs, stories and videos.

This site offers free interactive reading activities that I've found very useful for kindergarten and beginning ELL students. The activities are formatted as games to engage the students, and they include sound features to encourage understanding of phonics and phonemic awareness. Beginning with ABCs and moving on to reading stories, this site lets students have fun while improving basic reading skills.

Great for ELLs, and they think they are just playing a game.

Great resource, Torey! I think I will try this out next time we go to the computer lab.

This site has lots of interactive elements and many resources. There are phonics games for practice and review, and "alphabet organizers" where students can make their own alphabet books, using their own words. There are interactive poetry tutorials that allow the student to easily create and print his/her own poem. I like that the site has literacy activities and ideas for students in middle school -- I've never met an ELL student that likes to do second grade work.

great for beginning/younger ELL students

This site has games and activities that can be easily adapted for older ELL. Notetaking worksheets for beginning and advanced vocab development. It offers a lot of ideas useful for students who get bored or frustrated with their normal language arts worksheets.
