This super sight word game is a great way to get your little super heroes excited about reading! Game cards include pre-primer, primer, first grade, and second grade Dolch sight words, each marked for easy differentiation based on level. Download, print, laminate, and cut the cards and spinner. Students will spin and land on a number (one or two to practice as many words as possible). Some spaces say "draw 2." That means the student will draw and read two cards. On "action" spaces, you get to choose what the student can do. Use these spaces as an extra turn, lose a turn, or a battle! In a battle, each student can choose a card and attempt to read it. Any card read is kept; cards read incorrectly will return to the pile. Clip art in the game is from Krista Wallden with Creative Clips.

This template can be used with ANY book. I chose to use Spookley the Square Pumpkin as an example. Print and go; easy to assemble with minimal help. Pre-cut the pieces for students who need it.

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.

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 page 1 of quick reference guide as a way to determine an idea of the function of your student’s behavior. The box with the greatest number of checks should be considered as a possible function of the behavior.

After determining a possible function, flip to the page of the book for that function to see a list of behavioral strategies to alleviate the negative behavior. Behavioral interventions are also suggested by function. NOTE: THESE STRATEGIES AND IDEAS FOR INTERVENTION DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLAN.

Looking for a way to learn the function of a student's behavior? I've got you covered with this Behavior Data Collection Sheet. This can be used as part of an official functional behavior analysis or as a way to learn how your students communicate their needs.

What's Included?

• A one-page guide to collecting ABC data (antecedent, behavior, consequence) to determine a hypothesis as to the function of a student's behavior.
• ABC Data collection page (printable)

Why do you need this?

There is a student in your classroom who struggles to express their wants or needs in an appropriate way. You want to alleviate the problematic behavior by discovering the behavior's function so you can find an alternate replacement behavior that serves the same function in a way that is more appropriate for the classroom.

How can I help?
