  4. Thinkfinity Literacy Forum Initial Post: A Great Life Skills Transition Site! • While looking through the Literacy Network, I came across a website that is part of the Everyday Life Project.  The project uses interactive, situation-based lessons to teach functional literacy skills.  Activities provide real-world situations necessary to be successful in life.  Topics covered include: careers, computers, everyday life skills (e.g., counting change, how to use an ATM), internet basics, job development, math basics, Microsoft tools, money, reading, and using social media.  • I see this tool as a supplement to teaching materials introduced in the classroom.  It also allows students to work independently on the activities and keep track of their progress.  Check it out! www.gcflearnfree.org

  5. Thinkfinity Literacy Forum –Week 4Re: A Great Life Skills Transition Site! • This site is really rich in the variety of activities it provides.  I looked at the reading section.  It could be used with very young children on letter recognition to older children who are struggling with comprehension, fluency, or vocabulary.  I thought the variety of formats the user could choose to work on skills would allow for different learning styles.  I'm putting this in my WOW list!

  6. Thinkfinity Literacy ForumRe: A Great Life Skills Transition Site! • Nice site.  I looked at it and it even had some tutorials for students who struggle with basic math skills.  The Fraction-Decimal-Percent section could be used in In. Math 1 for students who don't understand how to convert or complete basic operations with fractions.

  7. Thinkfinity Literacy ForumRe: A Great Life Skills Transition Site! • This is a nice site! I think it would be very useful in writing my IEP's for the students who are transitioning into the high school and will be working in a more functional daily living skills program.

  8. Thinkfinity Literacy Forumideas to help parents support their child who is learning to read. • This is a nice site to give parents concrete ideas on helping their young child (K) to learn to read.  There is a demonstration on good techniques.   This is also helpful for educators.  They use familiar books so this should make it easier. http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/tln/content/six-ways-choose-childrens-book 

  9. Thinkfinity Literacy ForumRE: ideas to help parents support their child who is learning to read. • Oh my gosh! I love this website! So many parents now-a-days need help and support with helping their children at home. I love the podcast and what great ideas they offer for the parents. They also make it clear of what to expect from the child. I am putting this link on my website!

  10. Thinkfinity Literacy Forum Initial Post: Parent Resources • This is a great website that helps parents understand the development of reading at a young age. It helps parents understand what children are thinking and understanding as they learn how to read and try to find themselves as a reader. Its a quick resource for parents to gain an understanding of age appropriate activities and what to expect of their children. They have information for parents of students in K-3rd. • http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/fileadmin/popups/ele_read_bench.html

  11. Thinkfinity Literacy Forum Re:Parent Resources • I checked this out too, hoping there might be some link to guidelines  for upper grades.  I thought it was well written and clearly stated.  Often times parents want to know what is expected at different grade levels, and I think this is a good resource.  Where is one for fourth grade?

  12. Thinkfinity Literacy ForumGraphic Organizer for Math • This document provides information on two different types of graphic organizers.  The first one is a compare and contrast matrix that could be used for all content areas including using it in math class for theorems, rules, formulas,  or types of functions/graphs that are similar.  The second one is a table used to help students implement the steps to a complicated task; in this case addign mixed numbers.  Both seem like good tools athat I couls use in math class to help students with new ideas. • Graphic Organizers Activate:
