This is a 5 step reference guide for students to use as they're learning to add double digit numbers with regrouping. Each step gives written directions and a visual cue using pictures of base ten blocks. I have seen this serve as a very useful tool for special needs students who benefit from a checklist as well as average to advanced students as a brief scaffold until they're ready to complete the steps without a reminder. This can easily be projected on the board as students are working, enla

This chart has all the spellings for long vowels, vowel digraphs, and consonant digraphs. Each sound is accompanied by a picture to serve as a visual cue for the sound. Chart will print 8.5x11 if printed as is. To create smaller charts, select 2 or 4 pages under the "Multiple pages per sheet" option when printing. Smaller charts can be kept in students desks, taped on their desks, in writing folders, or in the classroom library to use during free-read time. I use them during guided reading as we

This is a PowerPoint presentation with 61 slides. Each slide has one digraph and a recorded sound clip. This was designed for students to practice isolated digraphs to help increase fluency. Students run the slideshow as a game independently, partners or small groups, using the sound as a self-check. It can also be used for whole group class practicing or individual assessment. If used as individual assessment, I recommend recording the time it takes a student to complete the slideshow and

This game is designed for primary aged children to practice putting blends and letter clusters together to make words. It is played just like the traditional game, "Go Fish!" but a match is made when a student puts together a consonant blend and cluster to make a real word. When students get a match, they must record it on their paper as a means of assessment for the teacher. The activity consists of: recording sheet for students, full list of possible matches, one set of cards (to be printed
