New Reading Friends Poster Pack

Happy Thursday!  

Hope you've all had a great week whether it be with your family, friends, or students!  We go back in two weeks and our students return in three!  We've definitely been trying to accomplish A LOT and have been super busy creating new products, updating a few oldies, and working in our classrooms!  Look for classroom pictures soon!  Erin is in a new classroom this year and is setting up for her new kindergartners, and Leslie has been unpacking all of her things since new carpet has been installed in her first grade classroom!

Here's a new addition we've just added to our store,
and it's on sale through tomorrow! 

This is a very simple version of our recently updated
  Reading Strategies Poster Pack.

 

This pack includes 8 decoding strategy posters, a student bookmark, parent page, 
and cards to use during small group. 

The strategies included are:

*Eagle Eye
*Lips the Fish
*Stretchy Snake
*Chunky Monkey
*Skippy Frog
*Tryin Lion
*Flippy Dolphin
*Helpful Kangaroo

You can check them out {HERE}!

Here is a sample of what's inside:

Decoding Strategy Poster

Small Group Cards

 We're using these little cards during our small group reading instruction and plan on laminating them and attaching them to craft sticks. 

Student Bookmark

Parent Page

These can be sent home for parents to use while reading to/with their child. 

 Or while they're listening to their child read.  

Here's a freebie set that we created to go with our Reading Friends Poster Pack. This little poster pack contains coloring sheets for all eight strategies and can be found {HERE}.

Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations to Caterina! Caterina, email us and we'll send the pack off to you. Thank you all for your ideas. Our students enjoy these strategies and we constantly refer to them throughout the school year. The bookmark is a great tool for students to have as they are reading during Daily 5 and the parent sheets work as a great tool for parents to refer to at home.

A Few Back to School items and a freebie!

Although we still have a few weeks (4 to be exact) before we have to go back to work, we are beginning to create some beginning of the year activities to do with our first graders. We've got a big giveaway in the works with some of our blogger friends, so make sure to be on the look out! We're going to be busy these next few weeks as we prepare to go back to school, so hang on tight!

We've got a few things to share with ya'll today. First is our new All About Numbers Pack at TpT. This is very similar to our All About the Alphabet pack. Our number pack has a focus on numbers instead, counting and recognizing numbers from 0 to 20. Click the Picture below to check it out!

We've also added a new Reading Strategies Poster Pack to our store. We've seen many versions of these floating around, but have never found one that worked just perfectly for us. We wanted one that included all of the decoding and comprehension strategies, and that looks neat and clean, with a real focus on the strategy. We've used these with our students for the last 2 years, and it really is AMAZING how quickly they pick these up. They love having the bookmark in their book boxes, and are able to tell you which strategies they are using. They are just fabulous! So, check out our version of our posters. We hope you find them useful. Comment on this post with a way that you use or could use these in your classroom, and tomorrow we'll pick a winner to get these for free!

And since we love all of our fabulous followers, here's a treat for you! This is an All About Me book that we do at the beginning of the year. This 8 page book can simply be cut on the dotted lines and is aligned more to the right so you can easily staple the left side without covering up the pictures and words (this was a problem with the one we used last year, so we created our own) Click the picture below to download your free copy!
