Less than $5 2nd Grade Reading Strategies Printables (by date, oldest first)

Whether it's in person or online, your students will LOVE this coffee-themed summarizing activity and printables set. Using the SWBST visual prompt strategy, students will learn and practice summarizing a story (ANY story!) by stating the main character, what the character wanted, the problem, the solution, and the resolution. Ideas for differentiation are included to easily meet the needs of all of your students.

These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• Word Families: all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, and unk
• R-Controlled Vowels: ar, or, er, ir, and ur

I always have my kids create actions that go with the pictures. This allows them to be active while doing letter sounds! Research shows that adding movement to learning can also help in the retrieval and retention of information.

Coloring knights in armor keepsake bookmarks with cute dragons, castles, and swords, could be used as brain breaks, as rewards for students, or as a fun coloring activity at a party, could be added to letters or mailed with cards, or attached to gift baskets and goodie bags.
