WWW.EDUCATIONWORLD.COM Education World is an online resource for teachers and administrators. It is corporate funded and updated daily. It is not an exclusively literacy focused website but there are so many features that promote literacy including blogs, lesson plans and printables. The site also offers online courses, many in literacy education.
There
are a couple of sections that I am especially excited to use with my students.
One is a section with reading games that cover all grade levels and literacy
skills: word finder, synonym toast, flash cards, grammar gorillas, spelling
game, and more. I have access to tablets and laptops for my students so I can
allow them to play these games if they finish their work early or as good
behavior rewards.
Another
one of my favorite features is the section with news articles that are relevant
and interesting to students. The lesson plans include English standards, vocabulary,
anticipatory sets, articles, worksheets and answers, and follow up activities.
There are articles on robots, lizards, farming, the military, Martin Luther
King Jr., basketball, school, animals, dinosaurs, technology, and so many more.
Every article crossed over multiple subjects and can be expanded or streamlined
to whatever each teacher needs. Here is an example of one of these news article
lesson plans: https://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/newsforyou/newsforyou148.shtml
