How to Choose a LiveBinder Topic

by Brandi Clark | Leave a Comment

I am in the midst of preparing for professional development. My current job is to support teachers in grades 1 to 9 with Language Arts instruction. So…I would like to make a LiveBinder on one of the following topics.

*Guided Reading

*Writing

*Reading

*Word Study
