Who Knew?
I was looking on my twitter for interesting articles to blog about and I came upon an interesting tweet by Instructify that I thought would be beneficial for special and general education teachers. His tweet had a link attached to it that explained how to search on Google by reading level. It is actually very simple, all you need to do is go to Google and click on advanced search. Towards the bottom of the page there is a tab that says reading level and there are five different choices: no reading level displayed, annotate results with reading levels, show only basic results, show only intermediate results, and show only advanced results. When you type in a topic you can choose one of these reading levels and find appropriate articles for your students to read. I really like this resource because you can take a more difficult topic and try to find an article that explains it more simply.

This was a great tool. I found it extremely easy to use and it makes it so much easier to find good articles for students. I think students can also learn how to do this and they themselves can find articles to read. They can use this for projects and to share with the class. I think this is a very important tool for children. thanks for sharing.
