Simple Solutions for Summer Success

RESOURCES MENTIONED ON THE SHOW

We talked about several resources on the show so I have provided links for you below:

Videos

– www.TeacherTube.com – A wide assortment of educational videos that are presented in a “student safe,” on-line environment.

– www.BrainPop.com – A wide assortment of animated, curriculum-based content for students of all ages.

– www.makerfaire.com – For the innovative, creative inventors of your households, Maker Faire hosts weekly DIY episodes providing “how-to” lessons for a variety of mechanical contraptions.

Reading – Spelling & Decoding Program

– All About Spelling – For students who need remediation in spelling and/or decoding, this hands-on program is based on Orton-Gillingham (the leading method for teaching students with learning disabilities). It is a comprehensive, easy to follow program. The program is very straight-forward and would be easy for a high school or college-aged tutor to follow.

Handwriting Information & Curriculum

– Article: What Is the Greatest Predictor of School Success? This article explains the research that finds “transcription fluency” (AKA “handwriting”) to be the greatest predictor of school success.

– Video: Model of Perfect Learning This video illustrates my favorite handwriting program…and why it works so well. It’s a perfect model for all types of learning situations.

– Handwriting Without Tears – My handwriting curriculum of choice!
