Social Studies and Reading Websites

Social Studies:
The first website I selected for students is Kidport.com, which is a site that has resources for all subjects, but has excellent resources for students in Social Studies. The nice thing about this website is that it breaks down resources by grade level for easy access to what you are looking for.
The second website is the White House website. It is a good site for any age, providing kid-friendly information about presidency and the White House.
The third website is "Explore the States" by the America's Library. It is an AMAZING resource for all ages to learn about the United States as a whole and as individual states.
The fourth website is World Almanac for Kids, which is a comprehensive website looking at many facets of the world, like US presidents, population, geography, and other things. I would use this for teaching about presidents and many other social studies topics. A GREAT SITE!

Reading:
Starfall.com is an awesome student, teacher and parent website to learn, teach and support reading. It has printable resources for teachers with lesson plans, e-books for students, and activities for literacy for at home learning and support.
The second website is PBS.org, which is a website with all kinds of resources themed around popular PBS television shows for kids. It is very motivating for our television-watching kids and has great activities.
The third website is Scholastic for Kids, which has awesome resources for students, teachers and parents around reading. It is a great site for students to use on their own or for teachers to teach with.
The fourth website is ReadWriteThink.org, which focuses on language arts in general, but has excellent reading resources for students and teachers.
