New Product!

I don't know about you, but it seems like I am always trying to get my first graders to strengthen their sentence-writing skills!  We work on sentence editing a lot, but in addition, I require them to practice writing their own sentences once a week.  I have them practice during our Phonics instruction.  Most days, we play a Phonics game and/or do some sort of word attack activity with the word chunks we're learning, but I always devote one day to sentence writing practice!  My favorite activity to use for this are my "Cut, Glue, and Write" sentence writing packs.  Here's how they work:  Choose a specific word chunk or vowel that you are working on.  Print the page{s} to go with it.  Students will select three words/pictures to cut and glue onto their papers.  They will then use the words to write sentences, with the provided sentence rubric as their guide.  I like these because you're getting two for one: kids are decoding words with chunks we are working on in Phonics AND they are practicing sentence structure.  Win-Win!

So far, I have blends/digraphs, magic e, bossy-r, and vowel teams created.  Each blend/digraph/vowel team has more than one page to go with it, which is nice if you want/need to do this activity more than once with the same blend/digraph/vowel team.

Coming soon is short vowels.  I've created a growing bundle for you if you'd like to save money! Check them out below!  What do you do to help your kids practice sentence writing?

SAVE THAT MONEY!  BUNDLE PRICE WILL INCREASE WITH OTHER TWO PACKS ARE ADDED, WHICH WILL BE SOON!!!
