[aisle] "fake news" question

[Kathleen Kerner]

I don't have a specific website to recommend, but I am currently taking a
short online course through KQED entitled Finding and Evaluating Information
<https://teach.kqed.org/course/finding-evaluating-information> that has
been really interesting and helpful! If this is a topic that you teach, I
would recommend it highly! You will need to create an account, but the
course is free.

"The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach
them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And
that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them
access to those books, and letting them read them." -- Gaiman, Neil. "Neil

Guardian. Guardian News and Media, 15 Oct. 2013.
