Research suggests that small-group teaching is the most effective way of having new information learned. In addition, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that reading centers that focus on specific sub-skills are an excellent approach to teaching reading, comprehension, and fluency well. Therefore, I particularly benefit from this website, as it offers a wide variety of sub-skill targeted reading centers for kiddos in grades k through 5. Again, this is a WINNER of a site (with a lot(!) of resarch to back it up)!

THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Look at these teacher's sharing.

Excellent Reading Resource that specifically addresses a wide variety of reasons WHY children struggle with reading and HOW to help them overcome that particular obstacle.

This resource is especially useful for activities dealing with geography for both guided and independent practice. It also has short video clips for hooks, and great ideas for lesson plans!

This is a great resource for free writing activities. The site helps engage the entire brain in the writing process and the students really seem to like the creative limitations put on their writing.

This website is a great resource for Spanish teachers of all grade levels. There are lesson plans, games, activities, and helpful insight on how to incorporate literature and culture into the World Language classroom. I have also found the resources targeted for new teachers very helpful. There are also resources and posts for veteran teachers. I appreciate that this site also provides teachers with motivation and encouragement.
