Free-Reading is an ongoing, collaborative, teacher-based, curriculum-sharing experiment. We're looking to provide a reliable forum where teachers can openly and freely share their successful and effective methods for teaching reading in grades K-1. Our premises are: * The research on how students learn to read is well-established. * The research on which instructional techniques work is well-understood. * The voices of those who know what works best -- the classroom teachers -- are rarely heard in instructional design. * The power of "we" is far greater than the power of "you" or "I." -
1voteThe Early Childhood Technology Literacy Project is an instructional project in Montgomery County Public Schools funded by the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund. It has won many awards including the 2000 Computerworld Smithsonian Award in the Education and Academia category and has been recognized as a best practice by the Maryland Business Roundtable. The instructional focus of this project is to integrate technology into instruction and increase early childhood students' skills in reading and writing. This supports Montgomery County's Reading Initiative kindergarten through third grade. This project was designed to help school teams, including classroom teachers, specialists, and instructional assistants work cooperatively to develop, plan and deliver exemplary reading and writing instruction using instructional technology. The Early Childhood Technology Literacy Project was founded by Bonny Chambers and Dara Feldman. It is now maintained by Leticia Barr and Jimmy Sweeney.
