Today I want to highlight five of my most favorite websites for teaching in lower elementary.
Here they are...
Visit Hubbard's Cupboard for amazing resources under the Literacy tab. You will find links to printable books for high frequency words and seasonal usage. You will also find explanations of teaching strategies such as Morning Message and art projects to accompany nursery rhymes. This website is truly a teaching treasure.
Consult Kinder Korner if you are interested in creating thematic units. There are lots of ideas and concrete teaching materials. Have fun exploring this website!
This website has the BEST collection of ready-to-go teaching activities for all aspects of early literacy including phonemic awareness, phonics, alphabet knowledge, high frequency words, fluency, etc...Every reading activity comes with all the materials needed to utilize it immediately in your classrooms or with your children at home. PLEASE don't miss out on this fantastic teaching resource. This link will take you to the home page. Then, follow these instructions.
1. Click on the For Educators tab.
2. Click on Student Center Activities tab.
3. Click on Grades K-1 Student Center Activities (Revised, 2008) tab
4. Choose the category you desire Phonological Awareness and Phonics or Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension.
You will find countless activities to do with your children!
This website will be the most helpful to teachers and parents who desire to download and print decodable books. There are teaching guides and post reading activities that accompany every book. There are some free downloads available on the website but the majority of resources are only accessible to members who pay a yearly fee. It is definitely worth the investment to be able to provide your students and/or children with texts at their specific reading levels.
Carl's Corner has a wealth of resources for students/children who have begun to read. There are printable books, word finds, ideas for thematic units, activities with words that follow a specific spelling pattern and SO MUCH MORE!! I'm sure this website will soon be one of your favorites too.
