New edition of Within Word Flipcharts

posted Apr 19, 2012 6:06 PM by L Roberts

I updated the flipcharts to provide better visual clarity in the classroom. The next version will have completely different backgrounds, tables, containers. The Notes section was revamped and updated as well.

Wow! What a five months!

The day after I wrote the last update, and came to this site, I came down with bacterial meningitis. I lost my vestibular balance completely and all hearing. But, I will be teaching this fall. Amazing. I've worked hard to gain new brain connections for balance and regularly go for walks, walk the dog, throw a football. Not the best, but getting there. I have had simultaneous cochlear implant surgery and will be activated in two weeks. That will give me a month to relearn speech, now digital and electrical, before the kids come in this fall. Wow. Anyways, enjoy your downloads.

ActiveInspire flipcharts

posted Jan 1, 2010 5:45 PM by L Roberts

I've begun updating all of my current flipcharts to the new software: ActiveInspire. This software is backwards compatible, but I'll keep the old ones in an archive for those who have ActiveStudio. I added answer keys to all of the flipcharts, adjusted colors, fixed a few oddities, and the first batch, Words for Within-word spellers, is ready. These are for students who still struggle with vowels and letters inside of the words.
