    • Read Kiddo Read,  This is an awesome website!  I love the layout! The books are leveled initially so it would be easy to find the right difficultly of book.  I also love how each book has a parent rating as well as an educator rating.

      I hope you found the new literacy resources to be helpful.  If you could please take a minute to answer a very brief survey about the literacy pages on the school website it would be very useful.  I will use this information to make changes to the website, as well as a write-up for my reading practicum course requirements.  If you have addition comments or questions about literacy, also feel free to email me, Nicole Hunt, .
