This could be used as a mini-unit at the beginning of the school year. Students are asked to trace, circle, draw lines, and cut and paste. They do not need to know how to write numbers. There are ten days of activities that could be used for distance learning: Six activities are double-sided worksheets. Four of the activities are cut and paste.

Students will roll the dice and write the numbers on the line. Then they will compare the numbers using less than ( < ), greater than ( > ), or equal to (=). More advanced students could roll two dice to compare double-digit numbers.

This is an easy, no prep, craft for Mother's Day. Students can color and cut out the crown for their moms.

Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) is important because it is a strong predictor of reading success, especially in early childhood. RAN tasks measure how quickly and accurately a child can name familiar symbols or letters. This reflects how efficiently the brain can access and retrieve verbal labels from memory — a skill crucial for fluent reading. Therefore, RAN is often used as part of early screening for reading difficulties and aligns with the science of reading. I created these slides to hel

This product includes options for vowel tents as well as clip cards. If you are not comfortable with students using clothespins, they can select the letters with their fingers on the clip cards.

This is a fun craft to use when learning about national symbols or celebrating the Fourth of July. It could also be a fun craft for younger students to make with their big buddies. Making the pedestal reinforces students' understanding of cubes and rectangular prisms.

I created these worksheets to help my students review phonological awareness (and phonemic awareness) skills at the end of the year. There are twelve worksheets. They could be photocopied back-to-back to create five days of review and one final assessment. These worksheets can help students gain flexibility with phoneme isolation in different parts of the words, and counting syllables vs. sounds. Six worksheets include: Write the first soundWrite the middle sound Write the final soundBlend t

There are 10 days of practice worksheets (double-sided) to help students learn to write and recognize the numbers 0-10. All numbers are traced every day to give students practice with proper formation. Each day focuses on writing a new number independently and identifying ways to show that number. Some of the pages include practice with color words as students are asked to color a specified number of objects. Some pages provide practice with counting objects and writing the number. This coul

This is an easy, no prep, craft to celebrate your favorite principal!

I created these books because I needed sight word stories that did not follow a pattern. They do not require students to decode, but they provide a foundation for structured literacy and the science of reading in that the sight words are taught explicitly and reviewed often. Students must focus on the sight words and picture support rather than memorizing a pattern. The books include cumulative review of sight words and a variety of punctuation marks. Students attend to the print and gain

This set includes flashcards for 94 CVC words and 32 CVCe words. There are two options for the back of each flashcard. One option includes the picture and the word. The other option includes the picture and Elkonin boxes for the CVC words and the picture and a rectangle for the CVCe words. I laminate these and have students write the words with dry erase markers. The Elkonin boxes may also be used to slide blocks or other manipulatives for practice with phonemic awareness. There are black
