Listen and Learn is the website of a music therapist, Rachel Rambach, who shares songs from her songbook/CD as mp3s. The songs are perfect for younger elementary kids, have catchy tunes and words.

Check out this amazing reading comprehension resource:

I've only delved into the kids' portion so far, but I'm amazed!!! I'm thinking this will be the perfect thing for my small reading groups--definitely 2nd grade, possibly 3rd. Some years I've had incredibly high 1st that could handle it, too.

Hey Folks,
If you didn't get a chance to read about Marek's international comics exchange between elementary students in Nicaragua and New Hampshire - take a gander. He drew a fascinating and inspiring comics journal about the project.

They have geography: http://www.spellingcity.com/geography-lists.html
They have two math-related games that combine it with reading:

You might be interested in reading about UNESCO's call for an international Media Literacy Curriculum in the Media Education Discussion Forum - there's also an interesting blurb there about a French proposal to put warning labels on photoshopped models in magazines. Both articles were forwarded to me via Media Literacy Clearinghouse guru and MC Popper Frank Baker.
Enjoy! RRG:)
