Holiday Wishlist: Gifts for Structured Literacy Teachers
If your partner, parent, child, sibling, or dear friend is a dedicated and hard-working structured literacy teacher or tutor, you may be searching for thoughtful and useful gifts you can surprise them with this holiday season. You need ideas for gifts for structured literacy teachers.
I’m here to help – with this list of gifts that will support structured literacy teachers in their work and professional development.
As we all know, selfless educators sometimes put themselves last and can stress over how they spend their limited funds. Take a look at this list and consider making a purchase for your loved one this year that may be something they’ve had their eye on for some time.
If YOU are a structured literacy teacher, might I suggest that you leave this blog post open on your family computer, subtly text the link for this blog post to your significant other, or casually bring it up in conversation over dinner? That should give them the little hint they need!
Here are the Top 5 Gifts for Structured Literacy Teachers!
1. A subscription to Word List Builder
What structured literacy teacher doesn’t want to save time making customized phonics and spelling resources? I know I love any opportunity to save time. Saved time on planning means more time for myself and my family.
A subscription to Word List Builder will:
- Save time with prescriptive and diagnostic teaching
- Allow for the creation of customized printables to meet the needs of students
- Download and share resources
This amazing resource is only $8.99 a month, or purchase your favorite structured literacy teacher a yearly membership for only $89.
2. A Custom Tutor Finder Listing
Tutor finder is an Orton-Gillingham Tutor Directory that helps parents find private Orton-Gillingham tutors.
Chances are, your favorite structured literacy tutor would love help getting their name out there and connecting with families who could benefit from their services!
You can add their name to the tutor finder for just $10 a year! It truly is a gift that will continue giving on and on.
