Reading activities that require a subscription but a great site with A LOT of different materials for learning to read. http://www.readinga-z.com
Great link with many different websites to address different intelligences according to Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. Some that I recommend: Linguistic--Fake Out! (create your own definition and see how others agree) Logical--Cybersquares (compare-contrast) Visual--Google Earth (see any part of our world in "real time") Rhythmic--RhymeZone (offers rhyming words so you can create your own rhyme) Kinesthic--Globz (uses your hand-eye coordination-how does it compare to Wii?) Naturalist--Animal Cams (Smithsonian National Zoological Park-watch real life animals) Interpersonal--Skype (stay in touch with family and friends for free on the internet!) Intrapersonal--Voices of Youth (sponsored by Unicef raising issues in our world that students can respond to and take action on) Existentialism--UN Cyberschoolbus (promotes peace throughout our world that students can understand and relate to) http://www.surfaquarium.com/MI/intelligences.htm
