Scholastic’s “Teaching With Nonfiction”

Scholastic describes this website as "research, ready-to-use lessons, and practical tips help you incorporate nonfiction into your curriculum."

Determining Importance with Nonfiction Texts

"Separating out what is important from what is not is the heart of the definition of comprehension," begins this resource I compiled on my other website, LikeToRead.com. Get information, links to other resources, and numerous lesson plans.

Kids National Geographic

This is an engaging and information-filled site offering videos, games, book suggestions and activities, such as making snow cream and wild-bird treats.

Ranger Rick

You've probably heard of this clever raccoon with the ranger cap, but did you know that he works for the National Wildlife Federation? This website (and magazine, available for a subscription) offers tons of activities for kids and their teachers concerning wildlife.

Time for Kids, Grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-6

The weekly children's classroom news magazine (by the same people who bring you Time, Sports Illustrated and People magainxes for adults) has many online activities for kids and their teachers, including teaching resources and many current news features produced for children and organized by grades K-1, 2-3 and 4-6.
