I would like communicate with other educators about resources available on the web. I have decided to provide a list of links for Reading and Math resources that I use in my special education classroom. Some resources are free while others require a paid subscription.
1. K12Reader - A free website that provides worksheets for a 36 week Spelling Program for grades 1-5, worksheets focusing on reading comprehension, and grammar worksheets focusing on parts of speech, mechanics, word usage, and sentence structure. Last school year, I used the 36 week Spelling program along with reading comprehension worksheets in my Language Arts classes weekly.
2. ReadingA-Z - A website requiring a paid subscription. This website provides printable and digital books for Kindergarten through Fifth grade along with benchmark passages and books for each of the 27 reading levels. Each book comes with a guided reading lesson, vocabulary lesson, worksheets focusing on specific objectives, and an assessment. There are many more reading resources found on this website that I am still exploring. Last year, I used this resource every day for my Reading instruction and plan on using it again this year.
3. Common Core Sheets - A free website that provides worksheets for common core math practice. The website allows the reader to search worksheets by topic or grade level standard. Common Core Sheets provides worksheets for Kindergarten through Sixth grade. Using the search feature allows you to find worksheets on 7th and 8th grade standards. I frequently print worksheets from them website to reinforce the skills my students need to know at grade level and their ability level.
4. Super Teacher Worksheets - A website requiring a paid subscription focusing on basic math and reading skills, along with social studies and science. In my classroom, my students have difficulty with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. This website has great printable worksheets allowing my students to practice their basic math skills.
Thanks for posting these links for our differentiation! I have used Common Core Sheets and love it! I like that there are variations to each worksheet. I will have to look more into the K12 reader. Looks like a great resource for all students!
ReplyDeleteI also like the fact that Common Core Sheets have at least 10 different versions of the same concept. It helps to have extra practice for my students with disabilities. K12 Reader is definitely a great resource for all students. I especially like the reading comprehension worksheets. They are small passages with five questions to check for comprehension.
DeleteThanks for sharing these links.
ReplyDeleteWould you say that they are mostly targeted toward elementary? I saw the K12 one, so am guessing it would not be.
Also, have you heard of Kathy Schrock. She has a great website (many in fact). The link to the following page addresses literacy in the digital world:

Thanks for the resources!

K12 Reader is clearly for grades K-12. ReadingA-Z is mostly for students in grades K-5, but my district uses it mainly for students with disabilities in grades K-12. The Common Core Sheets are beneficial for elementary and middle school students, but I am not sure if it could be used for high school because I am at a middle school. That would be something that needs to be explored. Super Teacher Worksheets is targeted for elementary.
DeleteI have not heard of Kathy Schrock but I just found her on Twitter today. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love #3 and use it a lot. We got a new CCSS math curriculum and I've found that the worksheets there are great for review.
ReplyDeleteI love using Common Core Sheets and I believe that the Math teachers do too. Whenever I find resources like these, I try to help the content teachers out by sharing with them.
DeleteDanielle, Edutopia and ISTE are also great sources for resources.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have looked at and used Edutopia before but I will have to check out ISTE.
