I started this blog/site as an assignment for school but have become sort of addicted to adding things to it so have decided to keep it going. You might notice that the title says "STEM Stuff", that is because my primary focus is STEM but I will also be including information relevant to other content/study areas.

Reading Resource: ReadWorks Website

For my Block II field experience I spent some time in a fourth grade class at a STEM school.  The curriculum at this school was very much what I would call "integrated."  Instead of having separate Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science lessons they used content from all areas across every subject.  Often for reading they read about science and for writing they wrote about social studies.  You get the idea, right?

Well one of the resources my cooperating teacher used for reading practice was the ReadWorks website.  You can search by grade, subject, reading level, and comprehension strategy.  It is aligned with the CCSS and easy to use.  I thought it was pretty fantastic.  And the best part?  It is FREE!
