They also have a lot of different forms of media that can help students who are learning to read like the read-to-me's, videos, and audiobooks and then there are the comic books, and Lexile books that help students practice their reading. I especially like the Lexile books because they let students read at their reading levels. Also, I noticed that a lot of Lexile books are nonfiction.

Professional Staff:

In numerous cultures, the commencement of a New Year is marked on January 1. This document explores the unique ways in which four distinct countries observe this significant occasion. Furthermore, it invites reflection on personal New Year’s traditions that may be practiced within various communities.

You can see that the texts for younger students go straight to the point and even ask questions to pique their interest. And with the higher-up, it sounds good, but I noticed it added a lot of filler words to sound "smarter".

When I was going through the links two of them actually did not work and I could not find the actual link they tried to send me to.

The only useful link that I liked was they linked me to Khan Academy, but there were no fun math activities. It was just word problems, but nothing to actually help the students interact with math. Also the section it gave me was small it was only 5 links for the whole search.
