Super EASY Literacy Centers! Seasonal, Holiday, and Special Days - Read It, Build It, Write It Work Mats.

Saturday, October 10, 2015 No comments

On Friday afternoons (or even worse, Monday mornings), are you scrambling for a quick Word Work/Literacy Center to put out for the week? If you want a highly engaging, but SUPER EASY to implement center activity, you need to check this out!

There are 24 Work Mats Included:

If you already own one of my Read It, Build It, Write It kits you can use the cards from that kit with the work mats in this kit. This kit only contains work mats, no cards.

BUT....I've also just posted an EDITABLE Word Card Template kit!!!!

Click here to see it!

You can make you OWN word cards to go with the mats! This is GREAT for making cards for your weekly spelling lists, custom sight word lists, CVC or CVCe words, word families, blends, digraphs, phonics patterns, and MORE.

With the editable template you can make your cards ahead of time, organize them and they are ready to go when you need to pull out a quick literacy/word work center. They are also super for RTI/Intervention time!

CINDERELLA is HERE! Introducing Three New Sight Word Games and more new SIGHT WORD resources!

Saturday, March 7, 2015 No comments

I've just added three new sight word games to my store at Teachers Pay Teachers! I'm so excited about the new Cinderella movie coming out, so I couldn't wait to make this first kit! Click on the pictures or click here to see more about this Cinderella Sight Words Game!

I also have two new sports-themed sight word games! Soccer and Basketball. Click on the pictures to check those out too!!!

Another fun literacy center/word work idea is Laptop Sight Words:

This is a fun, file folder activity, Just print the laptop "monitor" and "keyboard" and adhere to them to the inside of a file folder. I also printed the directions and put them on the front of the folder. Once you've done that, just laminate the whole folder. There are additional "screen" pages that you will print with all 220 sight words. I used Velcro on the "screens" to adhere them to the "monitor". Students will choose a sight words screen and stick it to monitor, they will then TYPE the words on the keyboard and then write them on the space below the keyboard. Since the folder is laminated, you can use a dry erase maker to write the words and then wipe them off.

More Sight Word Resources (!) that were recently added to my store are:

These are available in a BUNDLE (which saves a TON of $) or separate kits for Pre-Primer, Primer, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade sight words. These not only provide sight word practice for each sight word by reading the word, tracing the word, writing the word, coloring the word and then reading the word in a sentence, BUT, they words are made into little booklets, that students will keep and continue using to practice reading the words and sentences.

Whew..... a lot of new stuff, and I didn't even mention these:

I made an "iPad" for students to practice their spelling words. They will write the words in the spaces at the top and then "type" them on the "keyboard" at the bottom. If you want it, just click on the photo to go to my store at Teachers Pay Teachers to download it for FREE!
