Literacy Websites

If you have not heard of Holly Nowalk or Becky Koesel and you teach reading, this is a must-read for you!

My favorite part of the website is the "Reading" section of the website. This provides TONS of information about Guided Reading, Classroom Libraries and much more. Basically anything you want to know about provided the best guided reading lesson possible for your students.

If your district ever offers any training with Becky Koesel, I highly suggest going. If your district hasn't offered anything with her, I would suggest asking. It is definitely worth it.

Learning to read with Starfall

I decided to make my first blog post about Starfall. Starfall is a game website for kids that I not only use in my computer center, I also recommend it for parents to use at home. The site provides many phonics based games for students to play. There are interactive books as well. The kids love it and so do I. Go check it out!
