- A great resource for understanding the Common Core State Standards
- A list of writing contests for teens, plus a whole lot of other literacy resources
- How many of these books have you read? -- BBC thinks you've only read 6.
- Synonyms for words commonly used in student writing
- Bill Nye The Ultimate Frisbee Guy!
- Maybe the coolest site out there. A comprehensive wiki of every fiction trope, along with examples from TV, movies, and books! A story nerd's heaven.
