Autism 4 Teachers
This website has a lot of helpful links to information and materials to teach students with autism. It has a lot of pictures so that you can get a visual of what they are explaining to you. I love all of the examples!!!
Starfall
This is an easy to use website that has fun activities and games to help teach reading skills. It covers areas in reading such as phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Starfall is not exclusively designed for use in Exceptional Education classrooms, but is a great tool for use in all elementary classrooms. I think Starfall would be particularly helpful for ELL students because of the interactive games using sound and visual cues.

Lexicon of Learning Dictionary
I am always looking up the meaning of terms and phrases used in the field of education and this website has them all! If you haven't quite mastered your "alphabet soup" this website will help you. It is an online dictionary provided by ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) with the terminology frequently used in the field of education. It is beneficial for any educator to understand key terms and concepts.
