Mastering Beginning Sounds

This 65 page unit has everything you and your students will need to master beginning sounds and become better readers. It provides activities for whole group and small group differentiated instruction. 

It includes assessments for progress monitoring, skill accountability, and/or extra practice for struggling students. These assessments can also be used as a record in their leadership or data notebook. These were developed to align with Thinking Maps. Each activity has a Thinking Map to trace and use. There are even cut and paste activities!

You will refer to this pack throughout the year while the students are mastering the beginning sounds and introducing decoding and blending skills.

These pages can also be used as a center if put into a plastic sleeve. I hope you enjoy using this pack with your emerging readers!

The week before school is out...

     A crazy time for any teacher... with end of year checklists, meetings, conferences, testing, packing, and lets not forget the biggy- TEACHING! How do we manage? I'm not sure I can answer that question, somehow we always seem to get it done, whether you're an early riser or a stay late kind of teacher. Personally, with two wee ones at home getting out of here in the morning is nothing short of a miracle! So, I am that stay late sort of teacher, while the kids play at daycare I'm frantically trying to get everything settled and ready for the end of school. My students have been amazing and I am so proud to send them on to second grade! They ask me daily, "Can't we just stay here with you?", or "Do I really have to leave you?". There's that old saying, about baby birds leaving the nest. I feel like the mama bird... their wings are perfect for flying! I hope that all of you enjoy the last week of school and remember that, although bittersweet, you have made a difference in each and every one of your students' lives. Now is is time for a well deserved celebration and rest! Have a wonderful night! Happy inspiring!
