Having 3 little ones at the Lower School, I had the privilege to participate in Literacy Night this past Tuesday. It was very informative and I thank our LS Faculty for their time and effort. They provided great information and resources. As I was digesting all the great material on my way home I thought what a perfect time to piggy back on that night with a post about literacy web resources...for a variety of grade levels (I have mentioned a few of these before, but thought it wouldn't hurt to restate them):
