Resources For ALL Teachers!!

Image result for pbs learning media
Literacy is all around the classroom and can be incorporated into every subject. I believe literacy as reading, writing and developing thoughts and ideas. Sometimes, I think, we make literacy into this impossible task when in reality we can incorporate literacy into our content areas with no fuss. I do believe that resources will help us, as future teachers, with this concept and I have found one that all teachers of all ages need to know about for their classrooms and lesson plans. There are grade levels from K-12 with subjects ranging from Math to Language Arts. This resource has everything from lesson plans, to interactive work for students to videos. All of these things help teachers ultimately help their students understand what they are learning better. The best part of this resource is it is free!

I started to explore the site more and found several things I loved about the site. The videos are fascinating and would be a great tool to use in class when trying to better explain a text or class material without it coming from your voice. Another incredible resource included in this site is the lesson plans. The interactive content is also an incredible resource to use within your classroom. These could be used as homework assignments or in class group work. They are fun and easy, but allow your students to continue reviewing new or old material and texts from class.

Literacy is used throughout all of classes through the different type of texts used. This may look like a math equation or a social studies paragraph about the Mayflower. Either way, those are both examples of texts and literacy used in the classroom and there are multiple ways to exemplify those and this resource is just one helpful way to do so.

  1. Hey Katie!

    Thanks for the resource. I really like how it can be used across the curriculum. I have struggled with finding a resource that incorporates literacy in with math, but I think the resource you provided do a great job of integrating these two things. One of my favorite things about it is how many different opportunities you have to use it in the classroom. Thanks so much for sharing.
