Making Readers

One of the activities that helps students learn diphthongs is for them to recognize them, write them down and collect them in one place where they can reread them. This dictionary can be used during and after instruction about diphthongs especially if you are using a decodable text.

It is an important reading skill to determine when and why a character has changed in a story! Here is a digital resource that you can upload to your Google Classroom to determine if students have mastered this skill.

Do your students struggle to determine which letter is B and which letter is D? Use this resource on your Google Classroom to help them practice determining which letter is which. There is a slide with only the B and D letters and there is also a slide with words that contain the letters B and D.

Students like to know when they are being taken out of the classroom. I use these tags for putting on the desks of students that are pulled for Tier 3 intervention so they know when I am coming to get them. These cards can also be used for AIS math teachers, speech or OT/PT providers to use as well.

This is a fun way for students to prove that they can identify nonfiction text features in a text. Be sure to choose a text that has many different text features!

Students need to have their reading goals right in front of their faces when they are independent reading. It is the best way to remind them of what they need to do to achieve that goal. In this resource, there is a bookmark for 4 of the main reading goals that readers need to work on- engagement, fluency, chunking and visualizing.

At the end of the year, it is a great idea to have your current students give advice to your future students about your class and what being in your class is like. You can upload this to your Google Classroom and have your current students fill it out. This product is editable.

You can upload this activity to your Google Classroom for your students at the beginning of the year as a way to get to know each other. You can use this template to make one for yourself and maybe even add your bitmoji!
