I spent much of my time as an educator creating materials to effectively target essential reading skills. I spent many more years compiling and posting these materials to this website.
Here is a list of all the worksheet pages on this website. These materials are aligned to Common Core State Standards when possible, and I have included the standards on the bottom of each page to help you with your lesson planning. Being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs in the world, but it is also one of the most necessary. I hope that these materials help make your job a little bit easier and allow you to give more of your limited time and attention to your students.
Feel free to leave a comment or email me directly with any questions, concerns, or feedbacks.

/ January 24, 2019Hello! These are absolutely fantastic!! Is there a tricky way to print a large group of them? I would love to have all of the Reading worksheets. This is just a wonderful resource.
Mr. Morton
/ January 24, 2019Hmm… I can’t really think of a way to do that right now.
What I could do is upload them to Amazon and they could print and mail them to users on demand in books that would cost 10 or 15 bucks. Would that be worth it to you or would it be preferable to just continue browsing the current way?
Mr. Morton
/ January 24, 2019Also, I think a lot of visitors are afraid that I’m going to lock all the content down suddenly or something to squeeze them for dollars. I am strongly committed to never doing this.

I just want to add another “THANK YOU” to your list of comments. You demonstrated such intelligence and rigor in the design of your worksheets, powerpoints, games and so much more.
I especially love the session on teaching figurative language with poetry. I am currently in the progress of creating a curriculum unit using modern poetry through a special teacher program. I will definitely be citing your website as a great resource.
Again thank you for making this incredible website FREE for teachers.

Thank you for this unbelievable resource! This has saved me so much time, energy and money that I cannot thank you enough! I have shared this around with my fellow SpEd resource teachers at the high school level to use these for our reading comprehension probes when Progress monitoring comes around!
Either way, THANK YOU for dedicating so much time, energy and efforts to building this impeccable resource!
