Guided Reading Tools!

After reading a story in small group guided reading, I like to have students read the story one more time independently or chorally using a super exciting tool to track with or to just enjoy reading while wearing. Students love coming to my table and reading with me. One reason is that they truly enjoy using these tools while reading. Here are some examples:

Here you have:

The "Light It Up Lights"- I tell students that while using these they must light up the words they are using. On amazon you can get 40 of these  for a very cheap price. So you could get them and share with your colleagues! HERE

The "Rock Star Reading Glasses" You must read like a Rock Star while wearing.

I bought these on amazon and popped the lenses out. I put the rest in my treasure box for students. HERE

The "Whisper Phones" Read and whisper into the phone. Great for students to hear themselves.

I bought the red ones at Lakeshore Learning- HERE

But you can also get them from Amazon- HERE

The "Goggly For Reading Eyes" Students wear these on their hands and point to each word while reading (tracking) HERE

The "Witches' Fingers" They love to track with these fingers!

What do you like to use during guided reading?

Drive and Read CVC Words!

Newest product! I am planning to print these and laminate them tomorrow during my teacher workday and add them to my literacy centers for the week. My students will be so happy and excited for this new way to read CVC words and of course they will appreciate using the toy car while learning.

These can be used at the end of guided reading lessons in small group, as a supplemental aid for one one one to meet student needs and as a reading center activity for students to complete independently.

Students will physically move a plastic play car across the road while sounding out the word slowly and then physically move the car across the road fast and say the word fast. This activity specifically targets blending of sounds to read words.


Example: /c/ /a/ /t/ (said slowly) and then quickly blending the sounds together to read the word as cat.
