DLM Index feature: "City Bugs: Guided Search". This month's
featured resource
was created by the City Bugs Project, with support
from the Interactive University.
The lesson is designed to help identify a bug by answering 7 basic
questions about it, e.g.: how many legs? what color? where was it
found? Answers help you match bugs to a database and identify it by matching with pictures.

Project
FIRST has recently made available a new on line suite of materials
for teachers and mentors of beginning readers and writers, Tutor
Guide to Early Literacy. The extensive training guide was
developed to serve a range of early literacy intervention programs;
the goal was to create training materials which are broad enough in
scope to be adapted to a variety of program settings, yet remain focused
on best practices that characterize successful early literacy programs.
To maximize the adaptability of the materials, the project created
a number of editable files (in PDF format) adaptable to the specific
needs of different tutoring programs.
Developed
by teams of educators over several years, the materials have
been used by a variety of tutors in various settings: university
students, community college students and community volunteers.
Teachers and tutors can select from a menu of topics depending
on program goals, time allowance, and tutor population.

 A
third phase of work is set to commence in Fall 2002. The goal is to open
UC Berkeley resources to K-12 teachers, students, and all learners, by
making them available on the Internet. A new
