Mrs. Maher followed a link off of EM and found this one.  She thinks it might all be games, but has only checked a couple.  It was on the parent page under additional resources.

More links for parents:

Enchanted Learning - This website has lots of information, crafts, and activities.

Lexiles - This website will give you a level for a book title.  According to the Scholastic catalog we received in the spring, second graders should be reading books between 300 and 600.  However, after the NWEA testing is completed, teachers and parents will be given a specific lexile range for their child/children.  It will tell us what is their independent reading level, their instructional level, and their frustrational level.  We want to stay away from the frustational level for our children.  We want them to be challenged and excited about reading, not overwhelmed and unsuccessful.
