Applications for Educators
The best aspect of Free Reading is that it is an open community resource. Any teacher can sign up and contribute to the resource. If you have a lesson plan that works well you can share it. If you borrowed a lesson plan from Free Reading and modified to fit your needs, contribute your ideas. For teachers that are just getting started in the profession, the videos of lesson plans in action is a valuable learning resource.
