Resources

Today I was working with a teacher in Baltimore County and we were building out an activity about reading comprehension. We needed to pull some reading material off the internet and suddenly I remembered Google’s Book Search. It is a powerful resource giving the reader a decent collection of books and magazines to peruse and utilize. The books are full page scans that give the simulated read through of each book. Not all the books are full obviously but there is a great collection of full books or magazines.

I used the service to create a really slick reading activity. I will have to post it later but I just wanted to share before I forget. I was glad I thought of it because the teacher really took hold of the idea and went with it.
