Reading Assessment - Record Keeping

Reading assessments are one of the most important components in the beginning of the year in my room. It really helps me learn a lot about my students as readers and helps me create a plan to help them not only become better readers but enjoy it as well. Come on over to I Heart Teaching Elementary to read how I keep track.

Rdg/LA Activities - Sentences and Parts of Speech

I created this activity to help my kids practice types of sentences:  complete vs. incomplete.  The kids read the sentences and then sort them accordingly.  We needed to review this concept before we started discussing simple and compound sentences.

Here is an activity I created to help my students review parts of speech.  Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs are reviewed in this activity.
