The Literacy Cookbook Website is designed like a house with rooms upstairs (visible to everyone) and corresponding rooms in the basement (in the Download Zone).
To access ALL of the hundreds and hundreds of files in the Download Zone, you need an annual subscription to The Literacy Cookbook. Individual membership is only $50/year; groups receive a discounted rate. CLICK HERE for details. It takes less than 2 minutes to sign up! (NOTE: If you read the TLC Blog or purchase one of my books, you can also receive a 50%-off discount!)
TRYING TO DECIDE whether or not to subscribe? Take a look around! (PS, this is not a site map, just some highlights!)
If you haven’t already done so, I would also recommend following The Literacy Cookbook Blog, which features my latest thinking on how to meet and exceed the Common Core Standards (and it's FREE). On the TLC Blog homepage, in the top right-hand corner, enter your Email address, and the posts (about 3-4/month) will come directly to your inbox!
