A Simple Way to Access those Standards!

http://www.ixl.com/

This site gives you easy access to all of the Math/ELA standards for most grade levels.  What makes it so fabulous is the definition and an example of each standard pops up when you hover over the hyperlink.  I began using the first grade standards for my son,  Soon my third graders will give these a try.

Corestandards.org

I posted this site last May but I have realized since then what a powerful tool this site is. This site is my "Bible" for accessing our newly-implemented common core content standards. Matter of fact, it has never left the Safari tab on my iPad!

using sight words for articulation practice

Use this website to kill two birds with one stone! Practice your child's targeted speech sounds while getting the sight words down! For instance, your child is to correctly produce the /sh, ch/ sounds in the beginnings of words, these are called digraphs and this website has a digraph practice page! Instead of calling it sight word/speech practice, call it a game since there are many of them here! http://rbeaudoin333.homestead.com/sightvocab_1.html
