Ms. Tennison's Class Website

This is a fabulous, helpful tool for quizzing vocabulary, terms, concepts, etc. There are a number of other useful assistance tools you can create from this page as well. Check it out and see what you can create!

Connect with books you might find interesting. Includes book reviews, author interviews (current and archived), and special features: Books on Screen, Cool & New, and New in Paperback. "Coming Soon" features books on the publishing horizon; click on "Series" to access alphabetized lists of popular book series, old and new. Contests and newsletters, too. Head's up, though; some of these titles are definitely below 8th-grade reading level, so pick and choose carefully! :-)

Find out about books you might like or be interested in; play games and earn prizes based on the content of books you've read.

How good are you at vocabulary? This is a really fun vocabulary matching game that can also help end world hunger -- really! Test yourself, learn new vocab, and help feed the hungry, all at the same time. It doesn't get better than this! :-) Personal challenge from me: Can you beat my first time score? The first time I played this game, I earned 1250 bowls of rice. I challenge you to beat my score! Email me if you can do it!

This is actually a free iPad app that is quite excellent for improving vocabulary fluency while playing a fun game.
