    This is a great website for students and teachers of any grade level. It's great for students in a jam and needing help or a more permanent system for helping students progress in multiple areas. Topics include math, science, humanities, finance, and economics ranging from basic to highly complex lessons. Students can track their individual progress; parents and teachers can target and monitor the progress of their children/students. It's free, easily accessible and a great tool for learning. Take a minute if you don't know about this website, it's really quite amazing.

  • Studies of exemplary elementary teachers further support the finding that more authentic reading develops better readers

  • remediation that emphasizes comprehension can change the structure of struggling students' brains.
  • to enable the brain to develop the ability to read: It takes lots of reading and rereading of text that students find engaging and comprehensible.
  • he intensity and volume of high-success reading, that determines a student's progress in learning to read
  • exemplary teachers were more likely to differentiate instruction so that all readers had books they could actually read accurately, fluently, and with understanding.
  • Writing provides a different modality within which to practice the skills and strategies of reading for an authentic purpose.
  • Time for students to talk about their reading and writing is perhaps one of the most underused, yet easy-to-implement, elements of instruction
  • Research has demonstrated that conversation with peers improves comprehension and engagement with texts in a variety of settings
  • better outcomes when kids simply talked with a peer about what they read than when they spent the same amount of class time highlighting important information after reading
  • When students write about something they care about, they use conventions of spelling and grammar because it matters to them that their ideas are communicated, not because they will lose points or see red ink if they don't
  • This high-impact, low-input strategy is another underused component of the kind of instruction that supports readers
  • simply requires a decision to use class time more effectively.
  • eliminate almost all worksheets and workbooks
  • ban test-preparation activities and materials from the school day
  • no studies demonstrating that engaging students in test prep ever improved their reading proficiency—or even their test performance
