www.tellmeastory.com This site is set up for students. The students can read stories and at the end of each story there are activities that the students can do. The stories are long and if there is a student that is reading below their grade level they might have difficulty. A suggestion would be to have a partner read with them. The stories can be printed off so the students can read them off the computer.
