I am so excited to get to use these with the series. I will be getting the entire set. I love how it is the same thing throughout the units so that students can work on it independently at times.

Hi!
I am SUPER excited to see that you put in a lot of hard work with Journeys. My district is implementing it this year and boy oh boy is it overwhelming! :) We are teaching it using more of a balanced literacy approach so we teach comprehension out of the small binder, phonics/ spelling/ word study out of the large binder. Are your items following this approach or just a supplement? Is there anyway that I could get a sample (just to get a better idea if it is something that I can use in my VERY tight schedule.)
Thanks!

Hi Danielle,
I added a preview file with photos of some of the items included with my product. All items come with a recording sheet and sentence extension. The comprehension items included cover the "target skill" for the week. I usually try to include an activity that uses that comprehension skill and relates directly to the story and a generic activity that allows practice of the "target comprehension skill". As the year progresses comprehension questions will be included to be used with the story, but usually a generic activity will also be included. The comprehension activity that I have included with What is a Pal? can be used either way. There are plenty of items included to practice phonics/word study whether you want to use them as part of a balanced literacy approach or supplemental activities. All items align with the target skills for the week. You can use them for whole group, workstations, guided reading or co-operative learning. The items included work well in any of those scenarios, or if you are using the Daily 5. These series can be overwhelming as it does include alot to be covered in a week. I myself end up having to pick and choose what is the most important thing to cover due to time constraints :)
Let me know if you have any more questions :)
