GCFLearnFree.org is a website supported by the Goodwill Community Foundation, Inc. that offers free tutorials and activities in the categories of technology, literacy, and math. The Computers section is fabulous for learning about any of the Microsoft Office products, as well as computer and internet basics.  The Reading and Math sections offer tutorials and activities as well, and many work great on the SMART Board. Below is one of the literacy fill in the blank activities, and make sure to check out the Count Change activity!

Here is the 3-5 Intervention Notebook file to go along with the K-2 file I shared yesterday. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems with the file. A preview is below, or click here to download it.

I’d like to share a Notebook file I created that can be used on the SMART Board during reading intervention time. It includes web resource links for language and reading skills that include short vowels, CVC, blending, main idea, author’s purpose, and more. Please feel free to download it and use it in your classroom. A preview is below or click here to download.

looked high and low for interactive Cinco de Mayo resources and haven’t found much. But I did find an ebook from MightyBook on Cinco de Mayo. Check it out!

Sadlier-oxford.com offers a wonderful collection of interactive resources for students in grades PreK-6. There are math, vocabulary, phonics, grammar, and reading and writing games. Just click on the tabs and dig around a little. The activities will be found in the “Student” portion of each page. Some of the activities for the lower grades are narrated, including Alphabet Zoo (phonics) which you see below. Please check out this site!

Everyone loves Starfall.com. Now they’ve added more content for your emerging reader to enjoy with the launch of  More.Starfall.com. For an annual fee of $35, your child can have access to more activities than ever before. Check them out here. There are some demo activities as well, and all work great on the SMART Board.

More Starfall!

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis Dinosphere is a wonderful website to learn about dinosaurs. It includes a virtual tour and a wonderful Teacher’s section with activities and webquests.

While Starfall is all well and good, there are many other wonderful interactive literacy websites out there. The younger students need a little variety too!

Here is a list I’ve compiled so far:

Literactive- A wonderful interactive website for reading materials for PreK-1 and ESL students. The Road to Reading section is especially great for centers!

Literacy Center- The Play and Learn section of this site is available in 4 different languages. Activities include uppercase, lowercase, shapes, writing, and many more.

Bembo’s Zoo- A stylish animal alphabet site with illustrations created from the letters in each animal’s name.

Roy the Zebra- Includes interactive reading games, guided reading stories, songs, and more.

Interactive Alphabet- Students can see the letters written, hear their sounds, and see a picture beginning with each letter.

I will add to this list as I find more.
