If you have purchased my Buddy Reading Task Cards, make sure you go and re-download! I have added a ton of new questions for fiction and also added a non-fiction set. I was so excited to re-introduce these in my classroom and my kids were even more excited to have new questions to ask their friends! :)
Comprehension
Reading Homework- the easy way!
How do you assign reading homework?
I have tried multiple ways. I have sent home paper books that the students keep along with comprehension worksheets. I spent hours of my time making copies of leveled books so that kids would have just right books. I then had to fold and staple each book. You can see why that got old. I have sent home actual books from our book room. The kids had a book bag that they were responsible for taking home each night and reading. I had a few books get lost and a few kids who never remembered to take their book home, so that wasn’t working for me either.
A Friday Mash-Up (Freebie)
Elmer the Elephant Math & Literacy
These are seriously my new favorite books! I had NEVER heard of Elmer the Elephant until a couple weeks ago when my teammate brought her son’s books up. I fell in love! So I made this Elmer Math & Literacy unit. I think the Elmer books are a great way to teach many different skills- Text Connections, Adjectives, Character Analysis, Colors… it goes on and on!
