Honestly, I love so many of the resources provided to us through Heartland! One resource that I would highly recommend to elementary school teachers, more specifically third-fifth grades, the nonfiction resource TrueFlix (https://sdm-tfx.digital.scholastic.com/cb/node-34641?authCtx=U.600055417)! It is an extremely relevant and high interest site created by Scholastic. Within the site there are several different topics with the main focus of “People, Places, and History. With a lot of our reading materials and social studies moving toward nonfiction subjects to meet grade level standards and outcomes, TrueFlix could easily be woven into many areas. It has an option to have the material read to the student through headphones while they follow along or read at their own pace. This option allows teachers to differentiate instruction within their classrooms. TrueFlix could be used for individual research projects or papers. It could also be used to enrich a specific chapter within the required reading or social studies text.
