You can find about six thousand ebooks from hundreds of authors,  such as  Arthur Conan Doyle, Jane Austen,  Edgar Allan Poe, and more authors. It’s easy to use this site, you can find the reading text by choosing the chatagories on left side or sort by the authors or all tiltes which are alphabetis from A to Z,so it’s easier to find the text. This site also has three special pages which provide many award winning publications. Those are Greatest Novels of The 20th Century, Works from Nobel Prize Winners, and Pulitzer Prize Winning Books.

This website is an interactive website which was developed by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and a team of experienced educators. It is produced by Wisconsin Public Television and the Agency for Instructional Technology. The aims are to improve students’ ability in thinking and their reading comprehension. Students also can watch video of real classroom where a group of ordinary students use powerful learning strategies when reading— visualize, predict, summarize, etc.

I think this website is interesting because, here students can do reading comprehension activities with many reading texts in colourful and prim display. Students will not bored easily because the display is not shown an ordinary homepage but show them an animation book.

Here teachers have their own webs with teacher featuring music, video clips, classroom design ideas, posters, teacher guides lesson, lesson plans, and lots more.
