I recently started a new job at a school that has computers and projectors in every classroom. I’ve been making good use of them to do group reading with my grade 1-3 classes. I’ve now been trying to find some new sites that have good online stories.
A great site I found the other day was: starfall.com/
Does anyone know of some other good online sites they’de like to share?
scribd has loads and loads of texts.
Oops. I just had a look at your site. Scribd is basically books… not a “teaching to read” site.
Here’s a site with online stories for kids; the site also says it has some online books for young adults:
magickeys.com/books/
Also, here is a page of links on dmoz, the Open Directory Project:
dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/Arts/Online_Stories/
I didn’t check out the dmoz page very well, so I can’t say much about it one way or the other.
Check out the sites mentioned here:

There are also lots of software packages you can buy that look nice when they’re up on the screen.
I saw a nice review for http://www.thatsafactjack.com/. I believe that you buy a book that can be displayed on a projector so you can read the book together in class, and there’s also a game show option. Three students will get a chance to answer each question in a game show format. Check the video sample for what’s possible.
