There are a lot of effective literacy websites so far, but I have one that I want to share.  The website is Reading A-Z www.readinga-z.com. This website was launched 2009. It was known to be the most populated website on the internet. It has 17,000 members and it has won so many educational awards for its innovation in reading instructions. Among the awards are a Parents' Choice Recommended Award, a Global Learning Initiative Award, and a Teachers' Choice Award. Since Reading A-Z delivered over the internet, each month it changes its program. It gives new books, new lesson plan and more resources. It continually increases materials. The website has more than 2,500 downloadable books (including English, Spanish, and French versions) and thousands of teachings and learning materials that are projectable and printable. Reading A-Z resources are for K-6. The materials are at range for grade levels in special education and special needs, remedial reading ELL, and ESL.

There are a lot of teaching resources and learning materials on this site for reading and writing. The reading part which has phonics and fluency resources for children to learn and teaching materials for the teacher. One good thing about this website Reading A-Z is everything comes in a package. The reading lesson plan with the books and other materials that help children to understand the reading lesson. All the lessons match with the Common Core Standard and State Standard. It improves reading comprehension, phonics, and fluency for our children. The lesson provided for each reading book has differentiate instructions to meet the needs of all learners. It also applies to improving writing skills.
