South Washington County Schools has done it! They have organized their links into a useful method for teachers. The links are divided up by RIT ranges and by the assessed areas in the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment. MAP is a normed assessment created by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA)

StoryLine Online
Students love to listen to great stories being read aloud to them. It is even better when those stories are books they love to read and narrated by famous actors and actresses! The Screen Actors Guild sponsors this website, StoryLine Online. Students will enjoy listening to Melissa Gilbert as she reads Patricia Polacco's My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother. The books are entertaining and the children will enjoy listening and watching the pages turn.

* B O O K W I N K *
Booktalks are a great way to introduce a book to students! They provide enough information about a book but without giving the entire plot away. They are like trailers for a popular movie coming out. Many librarians use booktalks as an enticing way to get students interested in books but it is time consuming to prepare them. Here is a site with booktalks ready and waiting! They are excellent! Your students can view the videos of the book talks that Sonja Cole, the host with a degree in Library Media, presents. She is engaging, provoking and hooks the students in.
Bookwink is set up to excite 3rd-8th grade students about reading. It contains annotations and videos about popular children and young adult literature. You can search by subject, grade level, author and title. You can also subscribe to their podcasts and vodcasts. Share this with your librarian friends!

StoryStarters for Students
A virtual story starter machine spins and spits out ideas for students to write about. It starts off with the student's name and then selecting their grade level. Then spin and get your sentences to start your story. The students then get to select their format of a letter, notebook, newspaper or postcard.
