Read the Journal
Language Arts is a professional journal for elementary and middle school teachers and teacher educators. It provides a forum for discussions on all aspects of language arts learning and teaching, primarily as they relate to children in pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade. Read the November 2009 issue which is themed "Equity, Identity, and Literacy."
Grammar
Use these resources for ways to teach grammar within the context of your students’ reading, writing, and speaking so they retain what they learn and apply it later on in their own writing and speech.
Poetry
NCTE resources on poetry can be found here.
