For this week, the
website that I would like to discuss about is Laura Candler’s Teaching
Resources (http://www.lauracandler.com/). A couple
of years ago I stumbled on this site through her Facebook page and found so
many useful resources that I still use to this day. I’m not quite sure if this would be considered
a Literacy Website, but I feel that the literacy resources she offers on her
site would meet the standards. So I
invite you to drop in, I’m sure you will find something for your class.
Laura Candler has been a
classroom teacher for over 30 years. She has spent quite some time over the years
writing books and developing lessons and printable materials. She enjoys sharing ideas and resources with
other teachers and she realized that the best way to carry out this pleasure
was through the internet.
Contents on her website
are very neat and well organized. She
has tons of freebies that are very useful to use in the classroom including teaching
strategies. Additionally, Laura Candler
does offer other educational materials for sale.
Some of the things
teachers are able to find are resources for all content subjects including
seasonal materials. In her literacy
folder, teachers can avail to various resources such as graphic organizers,
poetry, and common core. Moreover, a
favorite of mine is her literacy strategies.
In this area, she gives so many ideas for teaching literacy including
the use of online resources.
It is always nice to have a resource that you can use and does not sit around gathering dust. I really like her Filing Cabinet. She has a lot of good information.
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. I think it is amazing that teachers all over the world are creating things and sharing them via the Internet. We have access to a weatlth of resources!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would count this as a literacy-based site. :-)
