They love hearing books read aloud, and they especially love seeing celebrities they know reading the books. 
Plus, it's totally FREE!]]> 2022-05-05 01:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170790671 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170792096 Get Epic is my go-to choice for finding a very wide variety of non-fiction texts about any subject for read alouds. It is free for educators! 
However, it is not free for classroom access. If a teacher is willing to pay, Get Epic is another fantastic independent literacy choice for kids. It's especially great for early readers because they can hear the text read to them if needed. 
This is a resource that the school district does not pay for. Bummer! ]]> 2022-05-05 01:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170792096 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170793726 We watch A LOT of song videos for literacy in our class. Singing songs is so fun and great for building literacy skills! Scratch Garden is a channel we love. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170793726 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170795017 Another great YouTube channel that has songs for spelling and other various topics. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170795017 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170797611 A classic children's songs YouTuber. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170797611 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170799007 The children are seemingly transfixed by this show. We watch it at the end of the day during dismissal or as a brain break. It's a win-win because it's actually giving them phonics instruction the entire time! ]]> 2022-05-05 01:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170799007 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170800958 Very great and fun way of testing basic comprehension or allowing students to vote for their favorite text. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170800958 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170802879 I am very lucky that my district pays for Raz Kids! It's an amazing program that really helps us teach emergent readers how to read online and how to read independently. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170802879 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170804167 I love this tool for helping me come up with words for phonics lessons! It's also helpful for students who are learning to write and spell independently. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170804167 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170805854 This is the website for the curriculum that my district uses. Fountas and Pinnell are two big names in the literacy instruction world. I personally love the curriculum, other teachers have expressed otherwise. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170805854 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170806828 One of my favorite guided reading mentors.

This website also reads to you, so it's great for emergent or struggling readers to hear and comprehend non-fiction text. This is another PAID resource provided by the district. ]]> 2022-05-05 01:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170807864 whisnantal https://padlet.com/whisnantal/wcl0452ee4uprb7v/wish/2170810822 There is a premium option but there is also a FREE classroom option for math and ELA.
