ReadWriteThink.org is a very useful resource, especially for teaching English/Language Arts. This website offers classroom resources, professional development, parent and afterschool resources, and community stories. Some of the classroom resources that are offered lesson plans, student interactives, mobile apps, calendar activities, printouts, and more. The professional development tab allows educators to energize their teaching with publications, training, and networking amongst other educators from all over the world. Through the parent and after school resource, you can help children write poems, create trading cards, or put together a timeline, so that after school time is still very much productive. With the community stories, you can get inspired and make connections with diverse and talented literacy professionals from all over the world.
The website is very organized and super easy to navigate through, since it also has tabs and hyperlinks on the top and side columns of the page to direct you to wherever you want to go. You can simply explore teacher resources by grade level from kindergarten all the way up to twelfth grade by using the tabs at the bottom of the page and selecting your appropriate level for your students. There is also a section with thematic units to refer to in case you needed resources for certain topics such as art, poetry, science, STEM, seasons, fiction/non-fiction, family, mathematics, careers, community, and so much more! To top it off, this website also contains videos where you can see Literacy in Action, observing teachers from afar on how they better educate literacy to the youth. There are also presentations that you can explore and also videos just for fun. I will consider utilizing this website more for future lesson planning for Literacy.
