[LM_NET] Target: Websites with short stories, essays, etc.

[David Bilmes <dudu4tigers@SNET.NET>]

I told an Israeli friend that I'd help her out by soliciting LM_NET for some 
information to help a colleague of hers who works in an Israeli high school, where 
she teaches English. Many of her students have learning disabilities. Here's what 
she's looking for:

"I am searching the net in an effort to find a site with short stories that could 
be interesting to the kids. The point is that my LD kids have problems reading and 
if i want to enhance their reading I must make them read. However, reading is 
difficult for them and the stories are not interesting enough. I tried looking at 
drug-related stories, namely personal stories. I spent some two hours and came up 
with two stories. I went to look for personal stories in the anorexia field and 
could not come up with any. Do you have any idea regarding sites, maybe not 
personal stories, but  just stories."

Thanks for your help. According to my friend, her colleague is a wonderful teacher 
and will be grateful for any help!
