Friendship Bingo
This is a fun activity that gets your students moving around and interacting with one another. Unlike some "get-to-know-you" bingo sheets that just have room to mark if you've found someone for that square, this sheet includes lines for your students to write down names and something interesting about them, for example not just checking off that they've talked to someone who plays an instrument, but that Porohu plays the piano, and they like the same kind of music! This is a wonderful activity f

Book Review template
This is a book review template suitable for early writers or English Language Learners. Scaffolding each part of the book review is a great way to get learners confident and comfortable writing about what they've been reading. It is also a great way to build interest in reading. They can swap their reviews with a classmate and learn about books they might enjoy! Please be sure to drop a review to let me know what you think about this template and how it can be improved. Thanks!

Reading Group Template, Printable
This little template is a lifesaver! I use it daily for all my reading groups. It has room for sight words (those general words they’ll need to know anyway), topic words (words specific to this story or article), setting a purpose for reading, making connections, and asking questions. Instead of writing everything out each time, The kids can write directly onto the sheet too, practicing their spelling words and recording their own noticings and questions.

Students should understand that "Who" asks about someone, "What" asks about something, "Where" asks about a place, "When" asks about a time, "Why" asks for a reason, and "How" asks for an explanation. This activity can be used as both practice and assessment.

These vibrant coloring pages are great for early readers to practice their sight words. The words they are looking for are color-coded at the top of each page. There are two pictures for each set of words. There is a place to write how many of each word they found, too, making this a 1:1 matching and counting practice activity, too!

Social Story: Back-to-School (post-lockdown)
I created this resource to support tamariki (children) returning to school after lockdown. It is general enough that it should probably work for any Aotearoa primary school. You can also send it to families to share with their children at home. If you need a small edit to make it work for your school, please let me know! I'm happy to do this for free. Leaving a rating would make a huge difference, allowing my resources to reach far more akonga (learners). Thank you for considering!
