I found this new reading site that looks like a real ‘keeper’. Reading Bear, a project of WatchKnowLearn.org, is a free program online to teach beginning readers vocabulary and concepts.
Reading Bear – is an educational project created by Wikipedia’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, that aims to teach young readers about vocabulary and the concepts of English. At the same time, the student is introduced to the main phonetic patterns of written English. All of this is done with the help of some creatively crafted media.
I recommend all elementary teachers take a look at this great resource. It will be worth your while!

I checked out Reading Bear and it is a wonderful resource! Wow….I was very impressed! I could see this being used as a center and shared with parents as a resource to reinforce reading at home. I recommend everyone take a minute and check out this site!
