 * Title:** PBS Teachers Reading & Language Arts
 * Site URL:** @http://www.pbs.org/teachers/readlanguage/
 * Comments:** This website's main objective provides teachers with classroom resources, discussions and professional development. The content is contextualized within the grade you choose to teach. I really liked this website because it was very professional, easy to use, and free of bias and advertising. The website includes a variety of interactive lessons which are fun and appropriate to age and subject matter. I would highly recommend this website to my peer teachers.

This website was great for teachers and students. It gave a lot of insight for the teachers for games and other activities. I really liked how it was PBS. I also liked how you could pick the grade level you wanted. Some websites are all over the place with grade levels and it was very organized and colorful. (B.K.J)


 * Title:** Reading Rockets
 * Site URL:** @http://www.readingrockets.org/
 * Comments:** This website's main object provides teachers with resources to help children learn to read and help those who struggle. I really enjoyed this website because there is a ton of great information on the page, but the page is fairly busy which makes it more difficult to find the resources who choose to share with your class. This website is so great because it has helpful hints and podcasts for teachers as well as widgets that you could follow.

This site seems to have a lot of information to try and help children to read. The problem that I have with this site is the articles especially "Who's at Risk" goes into detail about what to do with a child when they are struggling, but they do not say the signs to look for in a child who may be struggling. With the misrepresentation of this article makes me think that there would be other inconsistencies within it. I would use this site to try and research how to help the students but I would not use this site with my students because the articles uses words and the wording of sentences that could confuse them.
