Title: Study Suggests Potential for Synthesized Phonics Method
Body: A recent British study suggests that the Synthesized Phonics method may help children read and spell up to several years beyond the standard for their age level. The method encourages readers to recognize and blend word components rather than individual letters and appears to be even more effective for boys than for girls, whose performance usually tends to be higher than that of boys.

Title: Recommended French Web Sites for Weather Reports
Body: A recent post on the FLTEACH listserv recommended two Web sites for viewing weather information in French. ----- The FR3 weather page seems pretty good. I used to use http://fr.weather.com/ because they had long term forecasts for where we are living), but they were always wrong. FR3 has easy to read maps and 3 day forecasts. They also have an online "Bulletin vidéo" with versions for broadband and dial-up (unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to switch to full screen mode). I think I will begin using it for my weather unit. http://meteo.france3.fr/ They also have a cute "Wheel of Fortune" type game for finding weather- related "dicton du jour". Today's is : "Brouillard en janvier, année ensoleillée" Ponterio, B. French weather reports. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (6 Feb. 2005).
