What are good literacy resources for a 1st grade teacher?

Here are some sites I use frequently:

http://www.internet4classrooms.com/skillâ€¦
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/CompactforReadingâ€¦
http://www.marcias-lesson-links.com/
http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/câ€¦

And this one is my favorite!

If you go to google and type in Literacy for First Grade, you'll get lots of information. Your school also might have subscriptions for certain websites: discovery.com, etc.

Good luck, I'm sure the transition will be fine!

We Answered:

I don't think you'll find free software for your interactive whiteboards. But here's a website where you can order a free demo.

Teaching Literacy in the U.S?

We Answered:

It's very tough to get full-time jobs in these areas. There are lots of volunteer or part-time positions though. If you are willing to work part-time, you'd have a better chance if you have a degree in education and some experience as a volunteer. I made $22/hr when I taught adult ESL part-time. I think that's about normal although of course it would depend on what kind of area you work in.

I also taught for a federal program (Even Start Family Literacy Program) full-time. I worked on literacy and ESL with parents and their children. For this position, they wanted someone who at least had teacher certification. I had my MA in TESOL when I was hired about two years ago. Even with my advanced degree, I only made about $24,000/year. The pay is really bad. I now teach public school ESL and make over $40,000 (and don't have to work summers).

To teach ESL at most community colleges, you need at least a Master's.

If teaching literacy is something you want to do as a career, I'd suggest getting teacher certification so you can teach younger students as well. It will give you more job options, and a lot of programs for teaching adults really like to see that you have your certification. At some universities, you can get a grad degree in adult education, but the job prospects are so low in this field that I honestly would not recommend it as a job if you need to support yourself.
