Kindergarten Reading Assessment (by date, oldest first)

Valentine's Day Reading Comprehension and Sequencing Craft

Students will love this Valentine's Day themed, educational activity that goes along with one of my favorite Valentine's Day books: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose.

UPDATE! This activity now includes link to a DIGITAL version of the activity and assessments so you can continue to use this with your remote learners.

No book? No problem! A link to the story read aloud on YouTube is included on the directions page!

Use with the book There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Rose. Students can read the story and use the picture "leaves" to sequence the events of the story as they add leaves to their rose.

Includes a differentiated sequencing assessment (fill in the blank and multiple choice versions) along with a list of seven easy ways to differentiate instruction with this resource.

This is included in my Sequencing Activity Bundle available here

UPDATED TO INCLUDE EDITABLE GOOGLE SLIDES PERFECT FOR DISTANCE LEARNING.

These stories each focus on a different vowel to encourage long and short vowel sounds identification and differentiation. The stories also allow students the opportunity to practice sequencing the events in the story after they've read it.

Students will use these sentence parts to answer who, what, when, where, and why to build a sentence or short story. Handwriting paper is included with a box at the top to illustrate the sentence/story they wrote with their WH sentence strips. Print the WH question page on colorful paper for even more fun.

Print and laminate alphabet arc, picture cards, and arrow. Punch a hole where indicated on the alphabet arc and attach the arrow to the arc with a brad. 

Students will draw a picture card, place it in the box under the arc, and match the picture to its beginning sound (with the exception of boX for X) by rotating the spinning arrow to point to the correct letter. Alternately, students could turn over a card and place it in front of them, rotate the arrow to the correct letter, and then write the letter with a dry erase marker in the box below the arc for additional writing practice. Pictures coordinate with the key words from the Phonics First program, but this product is in no way related to Orton-Gillingham or its affiliates.

Choose between three versions of this "All about Insects" emergent reader! The booklet will have 8 pages total (including the cover). The first version has all words printed. The second has words printed in a dotted font so they can trace certain words. The third has fill-in-the-blank sections for students to answer as they follow along in your lesson (use the copy with all words printed as your guide). Mix and match the booklets to best fit the needs of your students. The clip art from David's Simple Teaching is the perfect blend of kid-friendly and realistic. Great for elementary and special education.

Use with the book There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Ghost. Students can read the story and use the pictures to sequence the events of the story as they add pictures to their haunted house windows.

Included in the OLD LADY STORY BUNDLE

Students can use this blending board to "drive" small cars to each letter, stopping at the circles to state the letter sounds. Students can "drive" the cars faster or more slowly to practice blending sounds to make words.

Collect data and keep track of progress with these assessment charts. Highlight missed words, record the date, and track number and percentage correct. Assessment charts include pre-primer through second-grade level Dolch sight words. Each sheet contains multiple charts of the same level words.
