For Robert - Reading Eggs is a website (free trial, then subscription) which has been very successful at my school.  It adapts to each learner and is designed to develop literacy skills, fluency, and comprehension.  I recommend you check it out and sign up for a free trial! Aloha - Leslie

Hey everyone! I've been teaching high school for the past 6 years (16-21 year olds). I'm now teaching K-2nd graders, so I'm very new to the elementary world, and looking for some resources. Specifically good ipad/iphone apps to address letter-sound recognition. Any ideas?

Hello everyone!  I was a technology integrator for two different schools, but budget cuts left me out of a job both times.  Sigh!  I've started to post the technology lessons I created on my own time.  Feel free to check them out here

Good Afternoon!

My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.

I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.

If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.

The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey.  You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please forward this information to them.

Thank you for your time.

The students in my school are having a very difficult time learning math facts. We are using flash cards and some computer games. How do you get students to learn math facts? Do you have any interesting ways to get them to learn them and have a bit of fun? It's sooo boring for them and they just aren't getting it.

Japanese Use Phonics as Training Wheels

In early school reading Japanese school children use a phonetic alphabet and switch to a pictographic by grade 4 when the students need to do more complex reading.

In a way, so do we.  We call it speed reading where the goal is undersanding without phonetic decoding.

A question that interests me.  Most of us can look at a word and say it.But I cannot look at a word and hear it.  Am I alone?
