If I ever teach preschool, I will definitely use this site for teaching the alphabet. Activities for each letter are provided, as well as lesson plans. Very creative and fun ideas!
This website would be very useful for third grade teachers. Third grade teachers have to teach cursive, and this website has alot of pre-written worksheets that can be used as a basis for teaching cursive. Also, it shows catagories of letters that would be best taught together. This comes in handy when a teacher wants to make a weeks lesson plan in advance, and can relate all the lessons to one another. Also, it can be viewed by the students at home if necessary, for help outside of the classroom.
This site is full of downloads for clip art. One of the teachers I did an observation for showed me this website. It does cost money, but it's a cute idea to use for letters sent home to parents or to decorate the classroom!
This website is for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL) students to help teach them how to read using phonics.
Starfall is a website of free interactive stories for children to learn and practice reading. The Teacher's Lounge offers printouts for classrooms, and more.starfall.com extends material to additional reading interactives and mathematics.
This website is great for teachers who use technology such as smart boards. It can allow students to play education games that will help them learn how to read.
