My kiddos love playing card games. This one will not only help them practice their decoding skills, it also supports their learning about adjectives and understanding that vocabulary through opposites… a huge help for English language learners.

I really like using quick readers in class. We usually do them as a whole group activity first. Then I use them again with my below level reading group. I also put them out as an independent activity for my kiddos who are at and above grade level. These two readers support adjectives and fluency standards.

A HUGE hit in our classroom are the sight word board games. In this resource I’ve included a board complete with the words that we are practicing in my class right now as well as a “blank” board so that teachers can input any words they choose to be practiced.

As always, I’ve included a complete writing lesson. This narrative lesson includes step-by-step directions, all you need for the writing plan, final draft and an adorable culminating activity craft.
