Effective Literacy #7

            Teachers love when you can find resources and strategies all on one page. Busy Teacher’s Café offers both. Busy Teacher’s Café is geared towards teachers who teach Kindergarten through 6^th grade. They provide strategies that teachers can create on their own to enhance their teaching.

            When you are on the main page of Busy Teacher’s Café, you are greeted with 6 tabs. You have a theme, strategies, printable, resources, email, and shop tab. Busy Teacher’s Café provides a monthly resource page to help find information and tools for seasonal or monthly ideas. Each tab is filled with resources for teachers to use for students K-6. It is easy to navigate through the pages. When clicking on the “Strategies” tab, it has 5 subcategories. The categories that can help teachers are for literacy. They provide literacy strategies, literature guides, author studies, literacy centers/stations, and classroom management. Literacy Strategies has 3 topics that it covers which is Reading, Writing, and Word Work. Busy Teacher’s Café has ton of information for teachers to read through to provide differentiated instruction for students to succeed in Reading and Writing.

            I explored the “Printables” page and it provides teachers with worksheets to use as guided practice or independent work for students. The categories under the Printable tab is Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Math, Management & Forms, Seasonal/Holiday, Spanish, and Literacy Centers. I clicked on the “Literacy Center” tab and it redirected me to where they give ideas to implement and manage literacy centers.  I love this site because its broken into categories and its very detailed. This website is great for all teachers not just those who are starting their career but also for the seasoned teachers as well.
