FREEBIE! Flowers Reading Comprehension

If you are like me, you are always hunting more reading comprehension passages to meet the needs of the different levels of students in your classroom. Take a look at this FREEBIE below! 

Speaking of FREEBIES, be sure to FOLLOW my TPT Store to receive notifications of new resources, freebies, and FLASH FREEBIES! You can follow me HERE!

This reading comprehension freebie can be used as a whole group activity with teacher led activities if your students are lower level or it can be used in guided reading groups with students who can read the passage more independently. 

Students can use different colored crayons or pencils for each sentence as they look back into the passage to find the answers to complete each sentence correctly. Students should underline the sentence as they find it with the same color they are using to write the word to complete the sentence to show the evidence of where they found the answer.

My students love completing these passages. I hope your students do too!

You can grab the freebie HERE!

Are your students struggling with SIGHT WORDS?

Learning sight words seems to always be a struggle for some students. I try to find every way possible to help my students learn them. I even made a PowerPoint slideshow with each student holding one of the 75 Fry Words they are required to learn. They love seeing themselves and their classmates on the Promethean board.

These sight word emergent readers that I created have also been a big hit. They are great for guided reading groups and take home readers. My students love reading to their parents each night. These readers are just one more way of helping my students who struggle with learning sight words.

Here is my newest Bundle of sight word emergent readers which includes the first 25 (List 1) of the First Hundred most frequently used sight words. 

Students can benefit from these readers by tracking print, identifying spaces between words, identifying particular letters of the alphabet, recognizing sounds (beginning, middle, and ending) in each word, and reading sight words and grade level text. For extension activities, students could add another sentence to each page giving details about each picture shown. The black and white pictures allow students the opportunity to color the pictures. This reader is great for guided reading groups, homework, or literacy center activities. 

This 650 page bundle includes five bundles of five emergent readers totaling 25 readers. One reader is included for each of these sight words: the, of, and, a, to (bundle 1), in, is, you, that, it (bundle 2), he, was, for, on, are (bundle 3), as, with, his, they, I (bundle 4), at, be, this, have, and from (bundle 5) which are connected to several CCGPS listed below. 

These readers are also available in bundles of five readers and individual readers as shown below. 

You can find PREVIEWS for each of the emergent readers included in this bundle 

at the links below or by clicking on the pictures above:

Emergent Reader Sight Words BUNDLE (at, be, this, have, from)

Emergent Reader Sight Words BUNDLE (the, of, and, a, to)

Emergent Reader Sight Words BUNDLE (in, is, you, that, it)

Emergent Reader Sight Words BUNDLE (he, was, for, on, are)

Emergent Reader Sight Words BUNDLE (as, with, his, they, I)

Each of the 25 readers includes this description: 

This 13 page book includes a title page with bubble letters spelling the focused sight word for students to color, and then 10 pages include a black and white picture at the top of each page with a sentence using the focused sight word. There are two more pages asking students to draw a picture of their own and write a sentence of their own using the sight word. The final page asks students to trace the sight word three times, and then write it three times on their own on the blank line. After this, there are 13 additional pages with the exact pictures and words as the first 13 pages. The only difference is that on this second copy of the book, the sight word being focused on is dotted on each page for students to trace.

The photos below show a few of the individual readers IN ACTION! Only four pages are shown for each reader below. Each reader has 26 pages with the two versions for differentiation as mentioned above. 

The pages of the book are not numbered giving the teacher flexibility of removing pages not desired when using in small guided reading groups for differentiation. 

Each book is designed so that you can copy the book, cut in half, staple, and then it is ready for use.

Here are previews of some of the individual readers.

Each reader is connected to these standards:

ELACCKRF1a. Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page-by-page.
ELACCKRF1d. Recognize and name all upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
ELACCKRF1b. Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.
ELACCKRF1c. Understand that words are separated by spaces in print. ELACCKRF3a. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary or many of more frequent sounds for each consonant. 
ELACCKRF3c. Read common high-frequency words by sight. 
ELACCKRF4. Read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding. 

I hope you and your students find these readers to be useful for helping your struggling readers and for sight word practice and reading fluency. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by!

Fix It Up Sentences (May) ($1.00 for 3 days only!)

Woo Hoo! Only 20 more days of school after this week of spring break (late for us). I am counting down the days! I hope you are in the same boat as me! If not, hang in there! It's coming!

Here is my Fix It Up Sentence pack for May to help get you through these last days of school! These Fix It Up Sentences are great for introducing or reviewing capital letters and ending punctuation. The students have to rewrite each sentence correctly by starting each sentence with a capital letter and putting the correct ending punctuation.

This Fix It Up Sentence pack will help prepare your students with the reading and writing skills they need. Students must be able to read each sentence in order to put the correct ending punctuation to see if the sentence is telling, asking a question, or showing excitement. It also checks for reading comprehension because at the bottom, the directions tell the students to draw a picture of the story on the back of their paper. Students must be able to read the sentences which create a story when read together and understand what they are reading to be able to draw a matching picture on the back. For kindergarten, it makes great morning work, homework, or literacy center activities or independent reading/writing work for first and second graders depending on the level of your students.

The following is a PREVIEW of the pack.  

This Fix It Up Sentence Pack is connected to the CCGPS ELACCKL2a: Capitalize the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I. This packet contains 10 pages. Each page has a simple story on it including five sentences. The ten stories are about seeds, flowers, garden bag, butterflies, garden gloves, planting, growing, watering can, and a wheelbarrow. The sentences are not written correctly. The first letter in each sentence has not been capitalized and the ending punctuation is missing. Have your students rewrite each sentence correctly. Begin each sentence with a capital letter and add the correct ending punctuation. The sentences used contain frequently used sight words, decodable words that students should be able to read, and a few other common nouns that students see often. These activities are great for morning work, literacy centers, homework or for a quick mini lesson on including capital letters and ending punctuation in sentences. Students can read the story to a partner or to the teacher after correcting the sentences. Students could also add other details to the story using the back of their paper. 

Take a look at the PREVIEW to see all pages included. 

I hope your students enjoy "fixing" the sentences. I always tell them that the person who made the sentences did not know how to write sentences correctly and that they have to be the teacher and correct the sentences. They have so much fun with these, and I hope your students do too!

This Fix It Up Sentences (May)  pack is available for 

ONLY $1.00 for 3 days!

Saturday, April 25th &

Spring Read and Write (Close Reading)

Spring is finally here! I am ready for some warmer weather. I don't think I could survive living in the north. I don't know how some of you do it! 

Here is a Spring Read and Write to help get you warmed up! These "Read and Writes" are great for introducing close reading. The students have to look back in the story to find the correct answer to complete the sentence correctly.

This Read and Write pack will help prepare your students with the reading comprehension skills they need. The short story in this packet is great for introducing close reading. Your kindergarten students should be ready for this resource by this time of the school year if they are meeting grade level expectations. If your students are still struggling, these short stories can be used for quick read alouds and then completing the sentences together. It makes great independent reading work for first graders.  

This product is AVAILABLE in a Read and Write Bundle
offering a SAVINGS of 12%.

In this three page Spring Read and Write pack, students will read the one page spring story and color the pictures. Then there are two pages with five sentences on each page about the story. Each sentence has a missing word. At the end of each sentence, there are two words for students to choose the correct missing word. Students will circle the word that correctly completes the sentence matching the story on the first page, and then write the correct word in the blank. 

This is a great reading and comprehension check for guided reading, a mini lesson, a literacy center, or homework. 

This short story is great for guided reading groups, homework, literacy center activities, independent reading, or for introducing close reading strategies.

I hope your students enjoy this story and fill in the blank sentences. 

This Spring Read and Write is available for
