" Into the Book" is a great online tool to help students master reading strategies to aid in furthering their reading comprehension levels. There are eight different reading strategies for students to explore at the site. Summarizing, Inferring, Making Connections, Synthesizing, Schema(Prior Knowledge), Making Connections, Evaluating, Questioning, and Visualizing.
Each skill has a short explanatory video and then an activity that accompanies it. I think that this website is age appropriate for K-5. K, 1, and 2 teachers will have to complete some of the the reading strategy activities with the students using the projector or Promethean Board. K-2 might be able to do some of the activities on their own, for example Visualizing. 3-5 students should be able to do most, if not all, of these activities independently.
I think this site would also be a great small group activity for students to use with the new computer tablets. Below you will find the link to the student section.

There is also a teacher's section that is great. Here is a link to the section. http://reading.ecb.org/teacher/index.html
You will find learning objectives, student and teacher videos, sample lessons, essential questions, printable charts and worksheets, and more for each reading strategy that I listed above! You could plan multiple lessons around each reading strategy throughout the year.
As always let me know if I can help you in anyway.
Enjoy!
