I'm no longer based in a school, but here are a few of my favorite reading
resources. Generally, I try to avoid drill oriented sites, as I prefer
kids to use technology in deeper ways, but it can't always be avoided!
I think kids can be trained to use some of these web sites with a little
pre-teaching and routine setting by the teacher. For instance, the
activities at Read Write Think are more open ended, but kids could produce
something and print it out there as part of a center rotation.
