WebQuest

Come Learn How to Read!

Teacher Page

One of the most important jobs as an elementary teacher is to get your students to love books and reading. These websites are engaging and there are so many books/games that the children never get bored or sick of them (even after reading or playing the same one over and over)! It can be difficult to find good apps/websites.

This webquest is for Kindergarten but can be used K-2 for ELA and technology. It is for students to use for 20-30 minutes at home every night. If you wanted to use it in the classroom, it could be used for any amount of time desired.
