This file contains four cootie catchers that are 100% editable. They are currently for time mathematics, but could easily be changed to be used for other areas/purposes. Let your students play with cootie catchers and do some learning at the same time!
Students frequently run right through periods and commas, skip words or even entire lines of text, read too fast or too slow, and make all other sorts of reading errors. This file "cites" them for not following the rules of the road - reading road. "Failure to stop" for example, is the citation they get for running through a period.

It's time to get militant with these facts! These two files are the cover page and insert for creating your own addition battleship. Once students place their ships on their board, they can guess were their opponent's ships are by reciting addition sentences like 3 + 2 = 5. This also helps teach them about coordinate grids and pairs! The first addend is the X (over) and the second addend is the Y (up/down). As with the actual battleship game they can "hit" or "miss", but they can also launc
We all struggle with getting students to follow a good pacing, read with expression, and the many other important elements of being a good reader.

It can also be printed smaller to have students use as a bookmark.
This poster gives students a graphic depiction of how to break a word apart to figure out how to pronounce it. It goes well with my "5 Golden Rules of Reading" poster since it's the 5th rule!
It's time to get militant with these facts! These two pages are the cover page and insert for creating your own subtraction battleship. Once students place their ships on their board, they can guess were their opponent's ships are by reciting subtraction sentences like 3 - 2 = 1. This also helps teach them about coordinate grids and pairs! The whole is the X (over) and the subtracted part is the Y (up/down). As with the actual battleship game they can "hit" or "miss", but they can also laun
This 100% editable activity would make a cute back to school bulletin board border! Students can complete the pennant on the first day of school and then have the rest of the month to read the others to get to know their classmates.
