Identifying Specific Learning Disabilities (RTI Method)

In this age of technology, we have many online websites that are available to us as teachers. They are useful resources for students to improve computer skills, reinforce academic skills, and make learning fun. They are useful to teachers to generate ideas, extended learning activities, and worksheets. Some suggested educational websites for you to explore are:

Greece Central School district - A variety of tools are offered to help students engage in rigorous thinking, organize complex ideas, and scaffold their interactions with texts. Many graphic organizers and rubrics, grade 6-12, are available to the classroom teacher.

Jefferson County Schools Homepage – Lesson plans from Blueprint for Learning, interactive websites, power points, and more are available to the classroom teacher.

This website is a source of math worksheets in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, K-5, in which you can customize the difficulty level.

Science themes and Tommy Tales, a series of books you can print with 20+ worksheets per book, are available on this website. The worksheets focus on comprehension, phonics, and other language and reading skills at about the 2nd grade level. Website

This website contains reading games for grades K-3 entitled Monkey Business, Fearless Frieda and the Big Kahuna, Alphabet Bears and many more.

Amazing videos on every subject such as science, social studies, and safety, as well as, books like Where the Wild Things Are. Schools should have an account, but each teacher sets up his/her own login and password. Website

This Houghton Mifflin website has suggested activities, games, and Internet links for reading and math grades K-5.

Famous people like Haylie Duff and Jason Alexander read popular children’s books, accompanied by related activities, on this website.

Make a variety of puzzles for review and practice with the resources from this website. It also has brain booster activities, clip art, and study starters.
