I found a website that I believe would be great for getting kids excited about reading. It’s located at http://www.magickeys.com/books/. This website has got all sorts of children’s books, in digitized media- including chapters, pages, and illustrations. Kids can log onto the internet with their parents or teachers and choose from these published works, and view the literature and reading material online. This concept teaches young kids about technology, helps them use computers, and saves paper! If more schools used these kinds of sites, more budgeted money could be spent taking the classroom forward. Some of the books on these sites are also interactive, so that when the student clicks on certain words, it says the word aloud. Indicated by a speaker icon, kids can learn how to read quicker and more easily by knowing what resources are available to them. They won’t have to wait for a teacher or parent to help them understand the material , because the anticipated questions are answered for them already on the website. This also helps the child become more independent and self-reliant, which is a necessary skill for them to learn at an early age. I think that this website could really help children learn in the classroom, and on their own as well.
