A Couple of Great Resources

Here are two links that will get you to some terrific resources!

First up, the Free Stuff for Teachers page at K-3TeacherResources.com. The free stuff includes printable posters and charts for the classroom, pictures to practice such skills as rhyming and vowel sounds, game board templates, Dolch word cards, and more. And if you enjoy the free stuff, you can join the K-3 Teacher Resources site for just $22.95 per year and get full access to the hundreds of resources available. A full list of the resources on the site an be found on their sitemap page.

Another great resource is the Graphic Organizers page at Education Place. There are more than three dozen different graphic organizers that teachers can download and print and use in the classoom.

Reading Resources

If you teach reading, you'll love Melissa Edward's blog. Melissa has worked as a reading instructor and an educational technology specialist...so she knows how to find great reading resources on the web!

For example...take a look at one recent post where she shared more almost two dozen great reading resources!!
