Teaching Tools

We provide a variety of tools and resources, both on and off line, to help teachers with their planning and day-to-day work.  Please select from one of the areas below:

•  Illinois Textbook Loan: Many of our nonfiction titles are available through the Illinois Textbook Loan program.  Check out our complete ordering guide for details.
• Graphic Organizers: Use our printable graphic organizers to help facilitate your student’s understanding of key nonfiction concepts.  These ready-to-use graphic organizers will help students organize ideas and communicate what they have read more effectively.
• Teaching Notes: Great nonfiction books teach themselves...up to a point.  Heinemann-Raintree Classroom moves beyond those limits with Teaching Notes that support the instruction of text structures, text features, comprehension, and vocabulary.
• Online Correlations: All of our books are written with an eye to key curriculum standards.  On this page, you'll find correlations of our books to your own state's education standards.
• Kentucky Support:  Download custom documents (PDF format) that support core content for Kentucky Math and Science.
• California ELA/ELD: Download correlations and find your local sales representative.
• English Language Learners (ELL): Many of our nonfiction titles support ELL programs.  We've assembled many of the tools and support materials here that you'll need to order and use our books as supplemental ELL materials in your school or district.
• Leveling: Use our online leveling tool to find Fountas & Pinnell leveling information, as well as Hi-Lo Reading and Accelerated Reader® ATOS levels to meet your specific leveled needs!
• Exhibits & Conferences: See where we are planning to showcase our products and come see us!
