I have spent a lot of time with with ESS (SPED) and ELL students in the last few months. What they need the most is a fun way that is engaging to learn phonics, sight words, etc. Its what all kids need when mastering something difficult.
They also need to retain this information which is difficult for some students with disabilities. I have spoken before about how I love to use music to help them retain information. We sing a lot in my class. My poor kids all know I sing in the key of M (me!).
These videos are available for free on YouTube or if it is banned at your school... you can purchase the set. But wait! Right now, any teacher who posts a review like this one can get a free set! Open to everyone. FREEE! Unlimited winners. Hurry as the giveaway ends May 31st.
AND as if this is not enough... you have got to go and check out the free worksheets and things they have to go with the videos. Here is a link to their phonics section. This is seriously my new favorite spot... It is TEACHER HEAVEN!
Free centers. Free teaching resources. Free activities, games, smartboard lesson plans, and behavior management resources. Free music for all kinds of subjects. They have free giveaways about once a month. I am going to have to start stalking them!
I am heading out the door to see if one of my favorite students is still around as she never was able to grasp the letter P. I am Mrs. Oland. No P. She works with Speech to correct this.... hmmmm.... maybe I should show this to the speech therapist as well.
Oh so many possibilities! I love it!

We love them too!

ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to join my (very new) blog. jarsofpencils.blogspot.com It's my 7th year to teach 5th grade, and I learn so much from other bloggers that I thought I would join in on the fun!
Thanks!
I LOVE Have fun teaching's alphabet songs! (They have great counting songs, too!) and they are FUN for the kids! I use them ALL the time on YouTube - I'm going to have to check out this giveaway though, it would be so nice to have them on file so I don't have to navigate every time I use them!
