Flocabulary

Flocabulary is an awesome site that combines hip-hop music with educational curriculums and lesson plans that meet the Common Core standards for ELA and Math, as well as State Standards for every other subject from grades K through 12. Flocabulary does require an annual subscription, but it is a great resource for teachers and school districts to offer as an alternative to a lecture or class discussion and it weaves technology in with any lesson plan very well. Free trials are available to the website; however, they must be approved and they only last up to forty-five days. Flocabulary also provides training and resources for teachers so that they can use this resource properly in their lesson plans.

Flocabulary states that the website increases student engagement within the classroom and about 25% of students that have used Flocabulary scored higher on their state reading tests. Songs and videos are available for multiple subjects such as Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Life Skills, Vocabulary, and Current Events (available for grades 3 to 12). The Flocabulary site also offers a “Standards Alignment” link where teachers can see how Flocabulary videos match with the standards in their state, subject, and grade level. Teacher resource books are also available for purchase through the website. Flocabulary is an interesting way to incorporate music that appeals to younger students with a teacher’s curriculum to gain the students attention and promote fun learning.
