Anna,
I’m wondering your thoughts on “Road to the Code” vs Heggerty’s “Bridge the Gap” for use in a private one-to-one tutoring setting?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Anna Geiger
I believe Road to the Code incorporates letters, while I know that Heggerty does not. So if I had to choose one, I would pick Road to the Code.

Hi Anna, I just found your website and I love the resources that you share. My K is in a homeschool-classroom hybrid school, so we do a decent amount of work at home and these activities fit really well with the curriculum the school uses. I was wondering if you had a list of resources/blogs, etc. with engaging activities like these for older students (Grades 3-6th)? My nephew is struggling with several subjects and I think he would be served better with more active learning strategies, so I’m trying to find some resources to use with him. Thanks!

Not currently, I’m sorry! But I’m working on a blog post with online resources that I hope will help.

Great, sometimes we under estimate the students’ capacity nevertheless they have the potential to become great writers. As teachers we just need to guide the students. I like the idea of allowing preschoolers to add on to their illustrations during the reviewing.
Thanks for sharing valuable information.
Sharon
Thank you, your tips are very informative and will be implemented. Thanks for the information about sharing I am no longer going to avoid it.

I really enjoyed listening to episode 3 because i realized when I was teaching kg, I was actually using most of these strategies you highlighted. Listening to your podcast has helped me to consciously reflect more on my teaching. Thank you for all you do to help your fellow educators.
