The
opening page of the website includes the following poem from Dr. Seus’ Cat in
the Hat:
The
sun did not shine. It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.
I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two.
And I said, "How I wish we had something to do!"
-from The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss –

She
furthers this poem by explaining that despite all the science behind whole
language versus phonics to teach reading will results in students struggling to
read even the simple poem written above. The answer is an intervention of
parents providing the assistance needed to help their child succeed in reading.
The website includes websites that
are specifically for reading. In fact, each of the websites has been viewed by
this class and have been proclaimed as websites for reading literacy. The site
also includes links to learning to read, teaching alphabet sounds, how to
rhyme, make your own book, literacy websites for parents and teachers and
information about reading rescue 1-2-3. Overall this website is an excellent
resource and is definitely one that should be added to your favorites list. 
Sounds like an interesting website, Janel. Thank you for sharing!
