Literactive is an interactive site designed to help early learners develop their reading and comprehension skills.  There are tools to help educators when teaching specific skills, as well as interactive games to help students with their reading.  As a parent, you can register for a free account or use my classroom account, so that your child can benefit from these interactive activities at home.  In the classroom, we use these interactive games on the Smartboard, as well as individuals on the computers.
