Subscribed to LessonZone.com.au

Today for $39.90, I signed up for a 12 month subscription to Lesson Zone. I'll let you know if it is useful and user friendly. I hope so! I find it so painful to design my own layouts and lesson tools. Not that I don't have a creative flair, it's just finding the time to make engaging and colourful activities frustrating... So far I have had a look around, and seems to look like I will get my monies worth. What attracted me is that it is an Australian website, with Australia content. Always a bonus!

** Update ** 21/02/14
I have just been playing around with the website and so far I'm impressed. My son has year 1 spelling words and struggles with literacy, so I feel it is really important to have his words available to him in Victorian Cursive (as he goes to a Victorian school) and well my writing is just too messing to copy so I was able to create a Pdf typing is spelling words and onto dotted thirds to assist his hand writing skills. What a great tool!! I just had a look at the other tools and they look fantastic :)

Here I have designed Aaron's worksheet so he can trace the words and repeat on the lines below. Once he has had a go and feels confident in writing his words, I can then cover all the words for him to practise spelling his words... Basically Look, Cover, Write, Check but with the bonus of having Victorian cursive examples and line to write on :)


I have also just discovered they have great decorative borders and display ideas for the classroom. So much better than what Microsoft word can offer...
