I ran up on this great website that offers web-based instruction to improve literacy using new stories from CNN and CBS 5 KPIX-CBS Broadcasting, Inc. which was developed by Cable News Network, Inc. It is referred to as Learning Resources. The news stories are categorized by subject content. You are able to view the story, here it read, and watch a video clip. The original intent was to encourage adult literacy; however the value is evident for all learners and educators. There are follow-up activities such as vocabulary, multiple choice, sequencing, word selection exercises, and more that test overall comprehension.

Loved this internet site and watched with fascination the news cast about mercury in fish and the impact on health. What a wonderful resource for teachers to use in the classroom -- and to extend the classroom to the home, assuming internet access is available there.
