"The most engaging reading game for Grades 3-8, and all for FREE!
Combining strategy, engagement, and imaginative reading passages to create a fun, curriculum-aligned literacy game!"

The Reading League (TRL) is a national education nonprofit led by educators and reading experts dedicated to promoting knowledge to reimagine the future of literacy education and accelerate the global movement toward reading instruction rooted in science.

"Reading Rockets is a national multimedia project that offers a wealth of research-based reading strategies, lessons, and activities designed to help young children learn how to read and read better. Our reading resources assist parents, teachers, and other educators in helping struggling readers build fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills." On this page, find a list of research-based reading strategies, including videos of how to use them, templates, and examples. Explore the rest of the website as well- it offers countless strategies and professional learning opportunities!

At Crick Software we believe that too many children struggle with their learning due to their literacy difficulties. We created our products to overcome those difficulties, and we made them accessible for all. With the right tools, every child can achieve their potential. Our products support students with dyslexia, learning difficulties, autism, physical disabilities, and other special educational needs.

8 sets of free decodable books (TONS of free books in total!). Each book includes the sounds needed to read the book, as well as example key words with that sound.

*Be sure to read the instructor's guide before you get started!

"Rebecca Burgess sees a problem with the way many people perceive the autism spectrum. Her resolution? The comic below. The Tumblr user debuted “Understanding the Spectrum” (below), which gets rid of the linear autism spectrum image (i.e. you’re either “not autistic, “very autistic” or somewhere in between) and replaces it with a round spectrum full of several traits or ways the brain processes information."

A web page and interactive applet showing the definition and properties of a rectangle. The applet shows a rectangle where the user can drag any vertex. The other points then move in such a way that the figure remains a rectangle at all times. A control to hide the details allows a classroom discussion where students can try to infer what the properties are as it is reshaped by the discussion leader. Text on the page has the formal definition and properties of the rectangle with links to related pages. A companion page is http://www.mathopenref.com/rectanglearea.html showing the ways to calculate the area of a rectangle Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition and properties of a rectangle in coordinate geometry. The applet has a rectangle with draggable vertices. As the user re-sizes the rectangle the applet continuously recalculates its width, height and diagonals from the vertex coordinates. Rectangle can be rotated on the plane to show the more complex cases. The grid, coordinates and calculations can be turned on and off for class problem solving. The applet can be printed in the state it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full definition of a rectangle when the coordinates of the points defining it are known, and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page showing how to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle from the coordinates of its vertices. The rectangle can be either parallel to the axes or rotated. The grid and coordinates can be turned on and off. The area and perimeter calculation can be turned off to permit class exercises and then turned back on the verify the answers. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full description of the method for determining area and perimeter, a worked example and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate reflex angles (greater than 180 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially reflex) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate regular polygons. The applet presents a regular hexagon initially. The user can drag any vertex, which causes all the others to move in such a way as to keep the polygon regular. There are buttons to change the number of sides from 3 to 99. The apothem and circumradius are shown and continuously updated as you drag Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

You can come to this site and watch Reindeer live on camera! Santa even makes appearances to feed them. Apparently you can catch elves or the Grinch from time to time as well!

You can check to see if you are on the nice list!

You can also come here to listen to Santa read stories. How cool is it to have Santa read you a bedtime story?

This would be a good creative writing or journal entry prompt for ELA as well.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the relationship between the perimeter and area of a triangle. It shows that a triangle with a constant perimeter does NOT have a constant area. The applet has a triangle with one vertex draggable and a constant perimeter. As you drag the vertex, it is clear that the area varies, even though the perimeter is constant. Optionally, you can see the path traced by the dragged vertex and see that it forms an ellipse. A link takes you to a page where this effect is exploited to construct an ellipse with string and pins. The applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Missing children and the existence of unmarked burial sites at Residential Schools across Canada have been well-known for decades among Indigenous communities. However, Canadians are still grappling with the truths about Residential Schools, spurring long-overdue conversations inside and outside the classroom.

Remembering the Children, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s publication for students, offers a way to begin those conversations. It takes readers to a variety of Residential Schools across time and space, opening a door into a past that reverberates today, while also celebrating the resilience and resurgence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples’ culture.
