Students really enjoy the opportunity to solve math word based problems as it places maths in a context that is real to them. I have put together a collection of winter themed maths word problems in a worksheet aimed at students aged 9 to 12 years old. Click here to download.
Riddles are often called “brainteasers” because they cause a person to have to think outside the box. This means that answers to riddles often have a double or veiled meaning.
This activity will allow students to develop an understanding of what a riddle is and how to look at solving riddles. The riddles worksheet and activity provides students with the opportunity to gain some basic knowledge and practice in reading and solving riddles.
Provided here is a word search puzzle that includes some key symbols of the Christmas season. Students will have fun searching for these key words. There is also a crossword puzzle provided that gives sixteen clever clues that gets kids thinking about American traditions and symbols of the Christmas season. These fun classroom resources will provide great filler for time when one-on-one remediation or other small group work needs to be completed. Students can work independently to complete the word search, the crossword puzzle, or both. Best of all, they will be smiling because of the pleasant reminder that Christmas is near!
Wikipedia has really cleaned up its act over the last couple of years to become a far more reputable site than it ever has been. As a teacher I now feel far more confident in letting my students use it for researching general information as long as they are aware of the model upon which Wikipedia is built and recommend verifying a fact from a second source such as a .edu site.
I recently put this activity and worksheet together for my students to use in our reading hour to give them a platform for generating ideas for the writing hour. It works as follows using Wikipedia or any other great information sites you feel comfortable with.
Students have to spend 15 minutes researching something on Wikipedia that personally interests them. It can be absolutely anything. This covers the text-to-self element of the activity.
Secondly students will look at the Text-to-World element of reading for fifteen minutes by researching and reading about events that affect our world. This could both a recent event or an ongoing issue such as climate change.
Finally students will make a link to a book that they are currently reading by researching a person, place or event that is related to their text being read or maybe recently finished.
When Students have completed the 45 minutes of reading they bring their sheets back to the group to discuss what they have found and also outline one of the three writing ideas they generated by completing the attached wikipedia recording sheet.
The next phase of the task is to begin putting those writing ideas into action.
I hope you find this reading activity useful.

ereading worksheets are Flash based online quizzes about reading skills. These quizzes give students practice with a variety with reading skills such as identifying figurative language, determining the narrator’s view point, recognizing the author’s purpose, understanding text structure and more.

Not that easily. Before taking the quiz, the student is prompted to enter their name. The name they enter will then be printed on their results page. If a student wants to change the name on the results page, they will have to retake the quiz. Because the answers shuffle each time the quiz is taken, completing the quiz for other people requires work. Students will always be able to devise methods to game the system, but ereading worksheets will make them work for it.
Yes. At the bottom of each ereading worksheet is a text field containing code. If you click on the text box and cut and paste the code into an html field on your blog or web page, the ereading worksheet should display on your page without ads.
