Q: What did the ski hat say to the scarf? A: You just hang around while I go on ahead. Corny? Yes. But when you're a kid and it dawns on you why that's funny, it's a golden opportunity for learning. Jokes rely on timing, expression, and understanding the nuances of word play... all key components in strengthening fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. If your students aren't yet collecting joke books, maybe it's time to start! Read more in this blog post for 1st and 2nd grade teachers.

Classroom rewards shouldn't be a budget buster. In fact, there are a lot of ways to recognize positive student behaviors that don't cost a dime. I made this set of fun coupons after asking my students to share their ideas. Their sweet and thoughtful suggestions became the tickets in this K-2 set. Having first pick at recess, working with their shoes off, and eating lunch with a teacher have been really motivating pieces of our classroom management plan. Come see more ideas!

Need a way for students to INDEPENDENTLY practice mapping high frequency words? This is IT!!! The Science of Reading supports Orthographic Mapping as an essential tool in building fluent readers. It helps students connect the sounds that they hear in words to the spelling that those sounds make. Mapping out sounds makes words more easily recognizable, and the words become part of a reader’s long-term memory. This activity allows for independent, self-correcting practice. Check it out.
