Create Educational Resources Quickly and Easily with BrightSprout

digital activities for middle school ELA· Educational Websites· Reading· Teacher Tools & Resources· technology in the classroom

When teachers need an activity, they need it like… yesterday. If you’re ready to create educational resources quickly and easily, you will LOVE BrightSprout! BrightSprout has created a suite of digital and printable materials that make creating an activity a breeze. Oh, and they already have a huge collection of pre-made materials to choose from! Instead of piecing together lessons from scratch, BrightSprout gives teachers a streamlined way to create resources that are both visually clear and instructionally sound. In short, BrightSprout bridges the gap between ease of use and high-quality classroom materials.

My Worksheet Maker

The Worksheet Maker on BrightSprout is a powerful yet intuitive tool that helps teachers create high-quality classroom worksheets quickly and easily—without needing design skills or complicated software. Designed for educators, it offers a quick way to create resources without hassle. BrightSprout offers a variety of pre-designed printables for common classroom needs—reading practice, grammar exercises, writing prompts, math problems, vocabulary activities, and more. Although the “worksheet” I made was considered flashcards, you can choose between worksheet, flashcards, or bingo.

If you would like to access the flashcards I made that you see at the end  of the video on independent and dependent clauses, click HERE!

My Crossword Maker

Want to create a fun way for students to study for their vocabulary test? How about review the parts of speech? I created a 10 word crossword puzzle in less than 3 minutes. Talk about convenient! Efficiently creating resources is straightforward and with My Crossword Maker, you can share the link with students and have them complete digitally or print. Check out the video to see easily this process was done.

My Wordsearch

With My Wordsearch, you can create your puzzle in minutes. I just made one for my students to use the week we return from Christmas Break, and it actually took me less than 2 minutes… if that. What took the longest was coming up with words that are goal and 7 Habits related. These topics are something our school focuses on as a whole, so I wanted to incorporate this as a quick reminder. You can share digitally or print. To access the wordsearch you see below, click here. You can also convert your wordsearch to a crossword puzzle in the click of a button.

Creating effective teacher resources doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With BrightSprout, teachers have an easy way to design engaging, classroom-ready materials without sacrificing their evenings or weekends.

If you’re looking for a simple, efficient way to quickly and easily create resources, BrightSprout is a tool worth adding to your teaching toolkit.
