Free, practical tools created by educators and parents to make learning engaging and accessible.
Aids for Teachers is a product of Walt Design & Development. We've created this site to help teachers create aids for their classroom based upon our own experiences and speaking with others.
My middle son had problems in elementary school with wanting to learn his spelling words. Quite frankly, I couldn't blame him. The process of reading, writing, and trying to memorize words was and still is boring!
So I came up with simple word searches for him. He already liked word searches, and felt like a grown-up since he saw his mother doing them. The only difference was that now he was looking for his spelling words. The process of searching for them helped him learn them naturally. We've taken that tool and built it into our Word Search Generator so that it's easy and accessible for anyone to use.
We built the Word Jumbler with the same basic ideas in mind. Students can learn spelling and vocabulary words simply by adding definitions, turning tedious memorization into a fun game.
All of our tools are completely free for teachers to use. No signups, no subscriptions, and no paywalls. We know how hard educators work, and this is our way of giving back.
We're using our software development background alongside our experience as parents and teachers to grow this platform into a comprehensive resource for classrooms and home-schoolers alike.
We will continually add new tools to our collection so you can always find engaging resources for your students, no matter their grade level.
