Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

Handwriting improves a student's ability to recall information, make connections between different concepts, and synthesize information in new ways!

My handwriting book includes:

• Mnemonic keywords and pictures (this will help with memory of letter name and sound as they practice the writing of the letter)
• Letter formation sayings and pictures for where to start and end your letters
• Sentence Practice
• Binding edge so that you can place it in folders with sheet protectors to use with dry erase markers, staple or coil bind together to use fun pens, glitter crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc!

When a student can produce the letters correctly and quickly, they will use less brain power when writing words and sentences!

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
• All 26 letters of the alphabet
• Long Vowels
• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh

These are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! Slide them in sheet protectors or laminate and you can reuse them! You can print these cards double-sided (on the short side) so that students can self-correct!

This creates meaning for words that follow the phonics pattern they are learning. This is important in helping the child turn these words into sight words!

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 cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them 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 cards 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

-VCe words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh
• Vowel Teams: ai, ay, ee, ea, ey, oi, oy, oa, oe, ow, ou, ue, ew, au, aw, oo
• Word Families: all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk
• R-Controlled Vowels: ar, or, er, ir, 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.

Adapted Books with a focus on "Wh" Questions: "What" and "Who" is a set of four books designed to help children learn and practice their comprehension skills. The set includes two books with a focus on "what" questions and two books with a focus on "who" questions.

Extend student practice through print and go worksheets, task cards, and a sorting activity.

Adaptive books are a valuable tool to use with students. While the books do require some prep work such as printing, laminating, cutting and velcro; they can be used again and again! They are highly motivational for even the most reluctant learners. Each book has 8 picture icons to choose from. You can easily adapt by sharing less options with your students.

What:

Book 1: What do you wear? is a fun and interactive way for children to learn about appropriate clothing choices for different weather conditions. It presents various scenarios and asks children to choose the correct clothing to wear for each situation. For example, "It is a sunny summer day and you want to go swimming". What will you wear? Clothing for all seasons is included.

Book 2: What are they doing? is designed to help children practice predicting and understanding cause and effect. It presents various situations and asks children to determine what the characters will do in each scenario. Children can reinforce their understanding by stating what they would do in each situation. "I will... Situations include: Cooking, painting, playing ball, crying, cleaning, eating, reading and sleeping.

What/Who:

Book 3 & 4: This book is available as either Who lives here or What animal lives here. They are a fun and engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their habitats. It presents different locations and asks children to choose the animal that lives in each place. Support is provided with a hint for each animal to help children who may not have prior knowledge of the animal's habitat or characteristics.

Example: Book 3 - Who lives inside a home? Book 4 - What animal lives inside a home? Hint: I am soft, cuddly and I meow. Animals include: starfish, bunny, skunk, penguin, fish, bear, whale and cat.

Book 5: So many jobs! Who will do them? is designed to help children learn about different occupations and the roles they play in society. It presents various jobs, including traditional careers such as teacher and firefighter, as well as more unusual careers such as rockstar. This book encourages children to think about what they might want to do when they grow up. Jobs include: teacher, farmer, ball player, firefighter, police, fisherman, cook & rockstar!

Book 6: Who will do it? This book presents a problem (I need or I like something), and a solution (who I can get this from). For example, I like cookies. Who will bake them? or I need groceries. Who will I pay?

Print and Go:

Continue practicing student understanding of "what" and "who" questions through 16 additional practice pages.

• 2 pages of sorting pictures into "who" and "what columns.
• 4 pages of identify and color pages.
• 10 pages of matching a picture to the "who" or "what" question. These will require a student to cut and paste.

Task Cards: All cards are colorful and made to be laminated and reused. I store mine in small containers (pictures in preview)

Are you in search of effective materials to facilitate the foundational stages of item naming and identification for learners? This set comprises four distinct topics, each thoughtfully designed to provide optimal support during the learning process. With three progressive levels of difficulty for each topic, including errorless tasks, choices of 3, and choices of 8, our Adaptive Books are a versatile resource catering to diverse learning needs.

Print & Go Practice Worksheets: Complementing the adaptive books, each topic includes print-and-go practice worksheets. These worksheets allow learners to reinforce their understanding through independent practice. The combination of interactive books and practice worksheets ensures a well-rounded learning experience.

The Errorless Books introduce students to the item they are learning. Students are then provided an "I see" statement & have two pages for demonstrating understanding. Students are asked to point to the item & to circle the object. These are intended to be either printed and used or printed laminated & expo markers.

Choice of 3: The books with a choice of 3 follow the same format as the Errorless book; however, when asked to point to / circle the item, they have a selection of 3 items. These are intended to be either printed and used or printed laminated & expo markers.

Students will listen to a short story using repetitive text paired with actions. The sentence will read, "In the winter, I like to...".
