 * How to integrate Listen and Read into your curriculum:** Non-fiction can be hard to read in the early years. It often includes unfamiliar words and vocabulary and concepts that students don’t have a lot of prior knowledge of. Scholastic’s Listen and Read helps students navigate their way through non-fiction with the support of a read-aloud, sounds and images. These interactive books help students better comprehend content because they aren’t focused on the words they are stumbling through. At the end of the book students can click on the unfamiliar new vocabulary to hear the word said again. This follow-up exposure reinforces word recognition, vocabulary and ideas.

Access an online weather forecast: The Weather Channel or USA Today Weather Most elementary teachers have a calendar time with a discussion of the date and local weather. Why not visit one of these sites to find out what the rest of the day might bring.

Include URL's in your monthly calendar: Each month, add URL's of a few sites of the months events and encourage the students to visit those sites. The September calendar for example, might offer links to sites about Labor Day, Grandparents' Day, Hispanic-Heritage Month, and Johnny Appleseed Day.
