I couldn't figure out why this was going to an old blog. I had it on private. I didn't even realize I could do that! Either way, problem solved (just not as early as I would have liked)!

I know this is a video (not super fancy technology) but I saw it used in a classroom today and it is very effective (and kind of cute)! Reading videos are created by teachers, using a multi-modality approach to learning. They have animation, lots of colors, songs, rhyming, repetition, and dogs!

I really like to make graphic organizers with this site. You can add pictures and/or color or not. You can make the whole thing a fun shape, if you like. It's cute. It's fun. It's free!
