• Amazing Adventure Series
  Read Along Stories and Movies for ChildrenThis site provides many interactive stories and poems that students can read along with while seeing the text and some moving pictures. It is extremely kid-friendly. I think that regular education teachers can use this, as well, as it provides a fun way to have students read text while the teacher projects it on the screen. Students could participate in choral readings, hear modeled readings, etc. Submitted by Gina Morgan
