Learning to Live

The page comes 6 images in 1 sheet. Then cut into 6 slips per sheet. Students use these little slips to attempt to write a word they are having trouble with. Then, they check in with their teacher for spell check and editing. They then go back to their desk to add that word into their personal spelling journal.

I used these with PK-2nd. I laminated them and glued a magnet on the back. I place them on the board as I'm giving directions/instructions for an assignment. The students reference to the board if they forget what to do after completing a task. It takes some practice but when they get it, it really minimizes dependence on their teacher. You can also use them for recent immigrants or to place side by side with English cards to reinforce ESL/ELL. Includes: colorear, cortar, acomodar, pegar, nombre

I laminate these to use in my small group table, literacy centers, and whole group instruction for CVC word decoding and blending. I also insert a copy in a sheet protector in students take home folders with a dry-erase marker for them to practice at home. My mother was a reading interventionist and elementary teacher for 36 years. Her experienced showed that using a curved arrow when blending is more effective that a straight line.
