My students love both of these sites. I knew before I got to the bottom of the article that Literactive and Starfall were going to be the top two websites. My students love both of these sites.

I've made a number of books already. What is particularly wonderful is that this is truly an example of ELTs harnessing the innovation of the "special ed" world. I've been doing lots of practical research into this and there are some more wonderful applications used with the learning disabled that would cross over and really help ELLs. (in particular, learning tablets - I'll be blogging about it shortly). In fact, I really consider the metaphor of the language learner as "disabled" as being apt and helpful. With the L1, we are full on, alert, a language sponge. Then with the L2 there is something impeding the "natural" learning and we need supports just like in the special ed situation to help make "learning" happen... Great site TAR HEEL! David Larry,

It is such a wonderful resource. On this page I especially liked the Literactive and Leading to Reading sites. I am currently working on a wiki with websites for the elementary teachers at my school. I am using your Best of.... series as a guide. Thanks! Larry,
