Easiteach Resources:

Note that you must have Easiteach software installed on your computer in order to read these files (a Reader program can be downloaded from http://www.rmeducation.com/easiteach/reader - it is 20 MB in size).

On the RM Education website, I note the following files are available:

• Kindergarten - Initial phonemes - use the freehand line tool to join the initial phoneme to the picture it represents. This is an example from the English Language Arts Pack of pre-built lessons.
• 1st Grade - Push and pull ants - click on the ants to watch the animations - are they pushing or pulling?. This is an example from the Science Pack of pre-built lessons.
• 2nd Grade - Solving problems by reasoning - use the fill tool to illustrate the number patterns. This is an example from the Math Pack of pre-built lessons.
• 3rd Grade - Poetry - rhyme and rhythm -use the word highlight tool to indicate the rhymes in these beautifully illustrated poems. This is an example from the English Language Arts Pack of pre-built lessons.
• 4th Grade - Keeping warm - This activity uses Hide and show boxes to reveal the answers. This is an example from the Science Pack of pre-built lessons.
• 5th Grade - Symmetrical patterns - Use the fill tool to complete the symmetries. This is an example from the Math of free lessons.
