Website: Read
Write Think
There are a vast amount of online resources with
the mission to promote literacy. In the next few weeks, I will write reviews on
some of my favorite websites that provide useful and practical information to
you as either an educator, parent or just passionate about reading and writing
like I am.
Today, I chose to write about the Read Write
Think website whose mission is to “provide educators, parents and afterschool
professionals with access to the highest quality practices in reading and
language arts instruction by offering the very best in free materials.” I
really enjoy browsing this site.
Read Think Write
offers excellent ways to engage all age groups from emerging readers to
teenagers. You can search the site by grade level, resource type (activities
and projects, games and tools, tips and how-to’s etc.), learning objective or
theme.
In addition, I found great journal articles for
educators under Professional Development and Strategy Guides. I chose to read
up on Developing Evidence-Based Arguments
from Texts and found a step-by-step guide to teaching evidence-based
argumentation for writing. The topics are so many interesting topics to choose
from.
I hope you will enjoy this site as much as I do.
This site has helped sparked so many ideas for my classroom.
