Simply For Teachers

I am super excited to share that I've added a writing element to the Fall High Frequency Words Easy Readers Pack!  Now the pack features the cute five little books, plus a set of word cards, and a sentence writing page for each book.   We need to fully support our early writers and English Language Learners.  These readers offer all of the research based practices used for both.  Now there is an element to offer support for early writers.  The same structured approach for both reading and writing.  The writing pages feature a repetitive structure, reinforce the high frequency words used in the readers, uses the readers as a model for sentences, includes a place to illustrate, and uses "I can" statements to keep learning focused. Stop by my TPT store to grab the set!  Print and Go!
