IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy #2

 

    ReadWriteThink (http://www.readwritethink.org/) is a website that created for teachers and students to enhance their essential readings and writings skills. This site mainly focused on students from K-12. Teachers like us who are not using online technology tools needs to apply these skills for the benefit of our students. This will enable us to boost student’s skills and knowledge to another level. In this site student can do printing press, trading card creator, write poems, and do time line summary.
            Students can access this site, ReadWriteThink from their homes using various devices which make learning possible everywhere. Printing Press is designed to assist students in creating newspaper, brochure or flyers. Teachers and students can work together to do publishing after gathering ideas and information’s together. Students can also demonstrate their literacy knowledge and skills when writing popular culture texts or real world examples. They can create their own trading card using fictions, places, objects etc.
            This website provides an effective tool for teachers and students to use. It supports their literacy in teaching and navigating to stay motivated. Teachers can also teach students to write poetry or their favorite poems so that they can recognize the power of making poetry and reading them. Poems and poetry inspires emotions or feelings of people and behind it students can find meaning.
            In addition, many sites are very useful for having or conducting online classes in literacy and this is one of them. Teachers and students will enjoy because resources are set up already and ready for use. It is well prepared for educators who are ready to learn online.
