To help out, we've assembled some high-interest science worksheets to help out!

    A sad number of students, when they hear the word 'summarize,' think it means 'copy a few paragraphs and the first couple sentences.'

    Spelling is in a sad state these days, a low priority for most teachers, so long as their students can string words together in a sensible fashion. Well, Florida at least is including grammar and spelling as considerations in their writing tests from here out, rather than focusing on the coherency and message. Now, there will be points to be gained or lost by use of correctly-spelled vocabulary and proper conventions. Why not do some fun spelling practice worksheets as morning work or end of the day close-out activities?

    Nothing says "I understand what I read" like a good ole journal entry as a reading response.
