The Back to School Issue

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I hope you have enjoyed a restful and relaxing summer.

This has been a busy summer for Open Court Resources.

Many pages have been redesigned to make it easier to quickly locate activities. Additional resources such as third grade powerpoints have been added and the blog has come into its own as the place to find frequent tips and post questions about teaching the Open Court Reading program.

I hope you enjoy the new resources and have a great and productive start to your school year. -Mathew

Integrating Technology

Participants at the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s technology integration in the Open Court Reading class showed the potential for integrating technology into the Open Court Reading Program.
