1. http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html - British Library Online Gallery - Here you can get 15 interactive books for your classes... Good connection to the Web required!
2. If your students usually read on their own computers, they can download a free monolingual dictionary from http://wordweb.info/free/ . When reading on screen, they can easily access the meaning of any word they do not understand! (no need to be connected!)

Critical literacy is an educational practice that goes beyond Critical reading, it aims at developing in learners a different way to examine language. Interesting.                  http://www.criticalliteracy.org.uk/elt/whatiscl.html
