Create a "Tool Box" of reading strategies for your readers. Fun tools suggest strategies that "build" better readers. This download consists of 12 pages:
1. Photos of a sample Reader's Tool Box that I use in my class. (Plastic box purchased a Michaels Arts and Crafts.)
2. Reader's Tool Box Cover (to put on your own box, file or large envelope to hold the "tools").
Strategies/Tools included:
3. Saw: Look at the first letters. Get your mouth ready.
4. Hammer: Sound it out.
5. Pliers: Look at the pictures.
6. Handsaw: Break the work into parts.
7. Wrench: Skip the word and come back to it.
8. Screwdriver: Take a running start and re-read the sentence.
9. Tape Measure: Does it make sense? Does it look right? Does it sound right?
10. Bonus! Mini Tool Kits printed two-to a page. Print, cut and laminate so each student can have their own mini tool kit!
12. Photo of tools (to show how they can be cut out).
Suggestions: Print tools in color on cardstock, cut around the tool shapes and words then laminate. Place in a box. Put the cover onto the box lid or purchase a box as shown in the photos.

Thanks for the great resource! I live in Naples too, coincidence! Where did you get the actual blue boxes?

I got the blue box at Michaels. Don't know if they have them right now (they may) but they usually have them in the summer for some reason.

I've used this with my kindergarten for 2 years now and they love using it! Its always most exciting the first day introducing it and the kids keep asking why I'm wearing my construction hat :) Great way to keep the little ones interested in reading strategies!

Very useful resource for any early years classroom. I use this with a Bob the Builder word wall as part of an interactive display that builds sentences. Children thoroughly enjoy being in character to identify with core reading strategies and develop their skills for reading. Thank you.

Cindy- what a great idea. I have 9 students on IEP's this year and 2 going through the RTI process. This would be awesome to use in our reading groups!
Thanks!
