I went read through all the previous Reading STAARs for you and identified the "test talk" that students have the most trouble with. Written in Verdana Font (the same font used on the STAAR test), you can choose to either leave the back blank or use the sheet provided to write a strategy or answer for the given term.

As far as I've seen, this is the only student data tracker to also track effort and include an effort scale and positive quote. How is that possible???! Why aren't we consistently reinforcing the relationship between effort and success?? Apart from the 2 Test Grade/Effort Trackers, I've included a Reading and Writing Goals Sheets that list ***42*** goal ideas for kids. Why reinvent the wheel? They usually have an idea of what they need to work on but a list goes a LONG way. Bundle includes 4 oth

For some students, the Graphic Organizers currently in use don't fully explain which box will be which paragraph or what "support" means for which genre. I tried to be as explicit as possible even going so far as to include purpose, audience, and what exactly goes into the often neglected Introduction and Conclusion.

Suddenly it will become obvious who goes painfully slow and then bubbles in half the answers in the last t

Your New FAVORITE** Reading log. The log is a TOOL for Students AND Teachers to determine if a child is not getting enough daily reading practice, reading too much or too little of one genre or another, or achieving a desired rate based on pages per minute. Two log versions included: one with sentence stems (Fiction, NonFiction, and Biography) and one without. Log with sentences stems is to Read and Respond so no sticky notes required. I take the Daily Reading Log a step further by including a

These are intended to be... 1) Cut out 2) Glued onto a popsicle stick 3) Placed in a cup During Reader's Workshop. These are great sentence stems for either fiction or nonfiction. They work great for my ELLs. If or before a student gets stuck when talking to their partner or club, they can pull out a stick and get started talking!

Giving kids the ownership of knowing: 1) What stage they're in in the writing process 2) What tools they will need for that step and making it FUN!!!! Give students a paper car to decorate and allow them to stand up and track their own progress in their folder or a posted track on the classroom wall using a clothespin, magnet, or pockets.
