The Itsy Bitsy Reader

With this emergent reader, you will be able to teach and reinforce the Common Core standard of describing the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (Kinder reading standard #7 - Integration of Knowledge and Ideas). Students will also be able to practice handwriting, as it is done in a font over which they trace the words. It is a fun way for students to make their own book and show meaning of the text through easy illustrations or cut and paste shapes. I teach one

With this emergent reader, you will be able to teach and reinforce the Common Core standard of describing the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (Kinder reading standard #7 - Integration of Knowledge and Ideas). It is a fun way for students to make their own book and show meaning of the text through easy illustrations or cut and paste shapes. I teach one page a day. We read the words together, then decide what the words mean. Students need to decipher that the

This is a fun page for students to sort, count, then graph their Valentine's conversation hearts. I like the idea of multiple directions on one sheet: students get to sort, count, I encourage my students to write their numbers in the circles, and then graph their heart colors in the boxes above. They color in one box for each candy heart. My students loved this activity last year! They were able to do it independently, once I explained that they start at the bottom, and work their way up. I

After reading Old Black Fly, or watching the YouTube video from The Itsy Bitsy Reader, http://bit.ly/3uCahHw, HERE, make a class book of all of the places where a fly could land. Print one page for each student in your class. Students draw their picture and write where their fly lands, either with guidance and support. Then, staple them into a book! Kids love to re-read familiar text! Great sight word practice, comprehension, reading left to right, and top to bottom.

This is a one-page document for students to practice the sight word - love. It is perfect for Valentine's Day! Students can easily complete this page independently. It guides students through easy-to-see icons to trace the word, color the word, and cut and glue the word - love. Very fun; my students loved this page last year! Have fun!

This is a one-page document that helps Transitional Kindergarten, Developmental Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten or Kinder students learn the sight word - love. A perfect center for Valentine's Day! Students can complete this page independently: it has icons to show they are to write the word, then color the word, and finally, cut and paste it. The benefits of my 'love' page is that students cut the bottom off before pasting their letters to make the word - love. It is super-cute with a hea

Tricky letters are letters that are easily confused by beginning readers. They are confusing because they can be flipped and look like the other letter, they sound like the beginning sound of the other letter's name or the sounds are similar. Review letter names and sounds along with easily confused letters to help scholars keep these separate in their minds. This is appropriate after students have learned most of the letters in the alphabet. I keep this on my whiteboard, so students can r
