Reading Elements, Measurement, and Spelling Sites

The first site narrates the story of Cinderella and then asks questions about the setting and plot.  It has information about characters that will explain the difference between a protagonist and antagonist. Do you know the difference?

The second site will challenge your spelling and reading vocabulary use.  It's great practice and fun!

The third site will help you will measurement and abbreviations for the Metric and US Customary forms of measurement.    Enjoy!
