Great Web Sites For Kids - Fun for Younger Children
Are you looking for fun web sites that are appropriate for preschool and early elementary grades?  This link from the Amarican Library Association and Association for Library Service to Children offers several web sites.  You may be familiar with some, but some may be new to you.  Check it out!

Story Tubes http://storytubes.info/drupal/node/1
Story Tubes is a great alternative to book reports.  The essence of it is making a 2-minute or less "my favorite book" video project to promote the excitement of reading and posting it on the internet.  This is for grades K-12 students.  I would love to hear if anyone has tried this or something similar.
