Drawing on extensive classroom experience, the authors demonstrate how shy students, reluctant readers, English language learners, and students who may be less active during class discussion become energized when they explore rich Web sites available from popular, respected children's authors. This book illustrates how this easy, no-risk technology—available at a keystroke—offers wide-ranging benefits, including:
- Inviting students into a literacy community of readers and writers
- Fostering the development of discrete, test-mandated skills
- Capitalizing on and deepening students' familiarity with the digital world in ways that enhance their literacy growth
