The internet contains endless resources to support your child's reading success. Take time to search online for other teacher recommended websites. Before allowing children to visit any website, be aware of its content and the advertisements that could possibly be displayed. Technology can be a wonderful tool for supporting your child's success in every subject area, but it's important to know that the resources they are using are safe.
