Guided Reading at Nash


A good site for expository text that can be either printed or read online.

A huge amount of lesson plans created by an experienced Four Blocks teacher.
Many of these links are also found in Teachers.net and DebFourBlocks.com but the organization found here is very helpful. Take the time to explore.
Many good resources here. This is where you can access Tommy Tales which are leveled readers. You need to register but it is free.

This site supports the teachings in Mosaic of Thought. I have found a huge amount of information and resources.

An excellent resource for leveled books, reader's theater scripts, benchmark books, etc. Many of these books are in Nash's book closet and are also available from Amphi's Graphics and Printing Department.


Free stories to download or read online. Students can also comment/review the story they have read.

If you have read Strategies that Work then these resources will be invaluable.
Good forms and assessment tools, etc. for your use.
Excellent lessons that may also be found at other sites listed.
This site is very organized. Make sure you check out all areas for a wealth of information.
Printable articles for kids.
