Tech Tip - FrontRow Adds Social Studies Content

FrontRow Adds Social Studies Content
FrontRow is a program that allows teachers to assign students practice in reading and math.  The program can be adaptive to how the student is performing.  Teachers can get some great data from using this program.  If you are looking for something for your students to practice before the MCA's, this could be a great supplement.  All content is based off the Common Core standards.

Recently FrontRow added social studies content.  Right now there are 11 units to choose from ranging from the Civil War to Elections.  There are videos, handouts, and readings for all ages.  If you are currently using FrontRow, check out the social studies content today.

Technology Tip - Unite For Literacy

Unite For Literacy
Unite for Literacy is a neat website that is great for beginning readers.  Unite for Literacy has a variety of easy to read books that the user can read or have read to them.  The books are not "big name" books, but helps new readers hear and see the words.  This website could be a great individual reading station in your classroom.  The kids can put the headphones on and read away!
