Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These NO-PREP sheets are perfect for extra practice or practice in small group! I let my students choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The sheets are broken into each vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-Vowels; a,e,i,o,u

-CVC words with a picture

-A box for each sound!

Use this product when teaching main idea and key details! Comes with a poster display, and a student worksheet.

Utilize any of these three summary pages as a way for students to record summaries of a chapter in any novel they read.

Instruct students to complete the pages as needed.

These are the directions I typically give for filling out summaries:

Print off as many pages as your student will need to complete chapter summaries for each chapter in their book or each assigned section of their reading in order to summarize their book accurately.

I have also provided a cover page, allowing students to collect all their pages together and submit a completed project. A basic rubric is included as well.
