Common Core Printables

Wow! This winter vacation went super fast! I had a great time, but can't really remember anything I did. I seriously have THE shortest memory! I tried hard not to think about school, but that is almost as impossible as trying not to breathe.

One thing I definitely remember doing, is creating some new resources to help my students during the second half of the year. All of these new resources require that your students have access to a highlighter. Since they are so inexpensive, that should be easy to do.

These first grade printables cover the majority of the common core reading foundational skills and language standards. I will be using them during my guided reading groups and as assessments. Since my school takes the SAT, I will also use them as test prep.

Here are some images of what's included...

I also started a series for kindergarten, using a highlighter. My students love to highlight and it is a good skill for them to master now, because they'll definitely need to highlight important information as they get older.

This is from my Read it! Write it! Highlight it! 

CVC Word and Sight Word Edition.

These activities will really help my kindergartners practice reading and writing CVC words AND practice reading grade level sight words AND practice their grammar skills. Students read the CVC words, write them on the line, read the sight word sentences, highlight the CVC words and then use one of them in a sentence. Lots of repetition!

I also made a rhyming edition.

In this edition, students read a word, write the word, read a sentence and find the word that rhymes with the word they wrote and highlight it. Finally, they use one of the words they wrote in a sentence. Some of the sheets focus on CVC words, some on digraphs, and some on blends (l blends, r blends, and s blends). Lots of critical thought going on here!
