Lesson Plans from...        

Excellent teachers deserve excellent resources—not only for their own professional development, but to use in their classrooms. And what better for today’s busy teachers than research-based lesson plans, just a mouse-click away?

IRA is a partner with the National Council of Teachers of English on the Verizon Foundation’s signature online educational and literacy program, Thinkfinity. The IRA–NCTE website is ReadWriteThink.org, a rich resource of lesson plans and related materials for reading and language arts teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade. And like all Thinkfinity partner websites, ReadWriteThink.org is freely available to all.

Reproduced here is just a small sample of the lesson plans available. For more of these outstanding resources, visit ReadWriteThink.org regularly. New lessons appear each month. And for information about writing for ReadWriteThink.org, visit our Publications area.
