Making Books
[|Bookr] -- This site allows you to make online books using fotos from Flickr. It is a great way to make online books to read with your students.

[|Mixbook] -- This is another online book making site. However, with this site you have a little more flexibility with how the photos and text look. Also, you can choose various backgrounds and upload your own photographs. This is a great site to create books for your class or for yourself. And if you design a book that you really love, you can order/pay for a real, color, bound book.

[|National Writing Project] -- This is a free downloadable book that helps Spanish and English speaking students practice reading and writing. The book is in both languages and includes several short mini-stories followed by activity pages the child can do with his/her family. You could use this book as a guide for how to share with parents good ways to read and then respond to texts with their children.
