Explore the World of Reading and Writing

The Michigan Learning Channel supports English Language Arts teachers and students from preschool to high school with free educational resources and videos. Find direct instruction of Michigan teaching standards, plus supplemental content like writing prompts, virtual field trips, and more.

Programs like Read, Write, ROAR!, Live from the Opera House, Story Pirates, and more have activity sheets that correspond to each video for students to complete as they watch, or as extra practice anytime.

All of our content is free to use for everyone. Educators use our videos in the classroom to introduce or reinforce topics, as plans for substitute teachers, and for students looking for extra practice in target areas. Families use lessons as an opportunity to learn together as a family, covering the same things as the classroom with the ability to pause and rewind for important points.

  • من المفيد وجود شيء ملموس لبدء محادثة مع طفلك. عندما يقوم الأطفال بإنشاء هياكل باستخدام الكتل أو الأدوات المنزلية الشائعة ، فإن فرصة إجراء محادثة مع طفلك حول التفكير الذي دخل في تصميم وإنشاء الهيكل يأتي بشكل طبيعي. Having something tangible is useful to start a conversation with your child. When children construct structures using blocks or common household tools, the opportunity to have a conversation with your child about the thinking that went into designing and creating the structure comes naturally.

  • تمثل كتابة كلمات جديدة على أغنيات مألوفة طريقة مرحة للعب بالكلمات وتطوير مهارات لغوية في الأطفال. يشكل كل من الإيقاع وطبقة الصوت أهمية عند تحدث الأطفال أيضًا. Writing new words to familiar songs is a playful way to engage with words and develop language skills in children. Both rhythm and voice layering are also important when children speak.

  • "تمثل المكتبة مكانًا مهمًا لممارسي القراءة والكتابة في المراحل التعليمية المبكرة. يساعد ترك الأطفال يستكشفون اهتماماتهم في الكتب على تنشئة عقول تواقة للمعرفة. "The library represents an important place for reading and writing practice in the early educational stages. Allowing children to explore their interests in books helps nurture knowledge-hungry minds.

  • في عالم ملئ بالتكنولوجيا يأتي كل شيء فيه بسرعة كبيرة، لماذا لا نستغل لفرصة لإبطاء الأمور؟ من إحدى طرق ذلك قضاء الوقت في تأليف الخطابات وكتابتها وإرسالها بالبريد إلى الأصدقاء والعائلة. In a technology-filled world where everything comes quickly, why not take the opportunity to slow things down? One way to do that is spending time composing, writing, and sending letters by mail to friends and family.
