This is an excellent site for educators that want to draw on the experiences of other educators when planning their early literacy lessons.
Teachers have the ability to connect and discuss with other educators different strategies and tips for early literacy activities. They also can share tps that have worked for them. Additionally, they have the ability to create materials on this site that can bring the subject matter to life for their students, such as creating an animated pre-reader with sounds. The teachers can also have the ability to share these works with other educators registered on the site.
There is also a 40 week curriculum that educators can access and use, in addition to the free library of supplementary activities. Membership is required on this site, but it is a free site and very useful.Educators are free to use the material as long as they follow the attribution terms set out in the Creative Commons licenses attached to each activity. It is also mainly for educators, so the privacy of registering is not so much of an issue when dealing with younger students. You can check out the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy by clicking on the words. All in all, a very useful site for teachers!
