Website with resources for all levels

I want to present this website to all of you. After checking some of the material, I think it can be useful, especially for primary and CLIL teachers.
The first thing you will probably notice is that the website asks you to register and after doing it you will access for free a great amount of materials: games, worksheets, activities and lesson plans.

The materials on this website are organized by level and subject, the main categories being: maths, social studies, science, reading, writing and ESL. You will also find some interesting science projects designed for students ranging form kindergarten to high school students.

In the MORE section you will find some very intuitive tools to create your own worksheets and puzzles very easily. After creating them you can downloaded and print them or you can save them in pdf format. To see an example you can click HERE

If you take your time surfing this website, I am sure you will find interesting and useful materials.

USBORNE QUICKLINKS

Today I want to tell you about USBORNE QUICKLINKS, which are links for Internet-linked books.
Usborne publishing company offers a wide variety of books covering different topics specially designed for young students. Although some of the books are very good, especially for those teachers using CLIL (Content AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING), today I want to focus on the huge list of Internet liks those books provide. 

But let me give you a couple of examples of the links we can easily find when going through these books. 
This is the first link you come accross when having a look at a book about "The Solar System".
 

You will also find books about geography, art and history, encyclopedias, dictionaries, music, nature, religion, cooking and dinosaurs among others. Let me show you another interesting link taken from a book called "Complete book of the human body"

The brain and senses is just another example of the kind of activities for different levels you will find if you take the time to explore the hundreds of links in these series of books.
I hope you will enjoy them.
