This is a great site. There are top quality flashcards, worksheets, games and templates to make your own stuff. The worksheets are useful for mainstream teachers with EAL kids in the class. There are matching/cloze/handwriting sheets on every topic.
This is a great website. There are topical news stories at every level – starting from 0 – (five pictures with five words to match), going up to advanced.
