ELA is short for English Language Arts, or what we call our reading class. Ms. Folts will cover ELA and Social Studies, so her website will likely be a FAR place to find resources for ELA / Reading.
The following are a list of websites that represent great resources to use at home to help your student with their reading skills. Some are interactive websites with games. Some of these require some set up on your end to assign work to your student. Some are websites that give you the option to print off your own activities. Not all of these are used in the classroom for various reasons, but are excellent resources for use at home.
NewsELA: This is a great website that adds news articles aimed at children almost every day. They cover a range of topics for high interest fields, the reading level difficulty can be changed for each article, and they have optional questions. It is FREE. Our school has also paid for the program this year, allowing students to read more articles, and take the quizzes online!
Moby Max (ELA): This is another site that our district has paid for, and represents a terrific resource for multiple topics. Students can work on either skills that have been suggested by myself, or on ones recommended by Moby Maxed based on their progress/needs.
Read works: This website is very similar to NewsELA. One benefit to this site is that it offers more variety and difficulty to the questions for each article. One downside is that they add articles much less often. Students can sign in with their school google id and use the class code 2VLKKN
Epic: A fun website with a vast library of books students can read, or have read to them. Table and phone friendly. There is a cost for this service.
Grade Level Workbooks:
Barns and Nobles, and Wal-Mart also sell 4th grade reading workbooks that are a great practice resource.
Freckle Reading: This site works best when you create a parent/guardian account and assign work to your student based on what you think they need help on.
Kahn Academy: A website that has instructional videos/content as well as problems for students to solve based on a wide variety of content. The Reading/ELA section is new/ in beta so it might not have full functionality.
ABCYA: A website with many different options, both paid and free. This is a link to ELA games students can play.
Turtle Diary: This website has games, videos, and more! This site is great for more than just ELA/ Reading as well.
