Effective Literacy # 7
Being a reading teacher, I found this website very interesting and helpful. As stated in the website, practical resources for busy teachers provide activities, ideas, resources, freebies, and more to help you teach more effectively while protecting your time. Kalena Baker is the sole individual who founded Teachingmadepractical.com. You can find free resources on this website. This website provides effective resources for teachers to make their teaching practical in the classroom. Some of the resources in this website require a membership account prior for users to be able to download.
On the home page, teachers can click on the reading tap to get a free printable worksheet and can also find more free resources like back to school, text features, character traits and main idea. Teaching made practical also provide lesson objectives that can help you develop more interesting lessons on reading such as main idea, cause and effect, compare and contrast, comprehension passages, point of view, asking/answering questions, connotation, summarizing, task card, theme, figurative languages, parts of speech and even multisyllabic word lists. Clicking on each reading resource will give you a worksheet and also provide an objective on what students will do or the activities they can do under each given reading resource. Teaching made practical also provides resources for the teaching genre. It provides reading passages, activities, and more for teaching students the characteristics of different genres. The teaching made practical website also display seven reasons to do seminar style discussion in your class, provide mini lessons for teaching point of view and biographies, autobiographies and memoirs to engage upper elementary.
The home page of this website also provides back to school ideas, classroom management and scaffolding instructions. Back to school tab can give you ideas like icebreaker and back to school procedure. Under classroom management, it will give you ideas to help your upper elementary classroom run more smoothly and efficiently. Under the scaffolding instructions, it will provide you ideas and activities you can do to help your students be successful with difficult skills. This website also provides read-alouds that encourage overcoming obstacles, using rubric to make grading easier, and help students monitor their comprehension and low prep cause and effect centers. I recommend that we should refer to this website for it provides effective resources that can enhance our student’s literacy skills.
