Word Work and Work on Writing

Hello all!

So let's get this over with...yep. I haven't blogged in almost a year...

This is what I've been up to: 



I hope this is a pretty good reason for me to disappear...again. :) Life is very different for me now and I wouldn't have it any other way! :)

Now I'm a wife, mommy, and teacher-blogger. I am focusing a lot on the first two things since early July but am trying to get back into the blogging thing...again! ;)

My school uses The Daily 5 Literacy Block Model. I am constantly trying to figure out ways to keep my students engaged in their Literacy activities (my group this year is very challenging) while appropriately challenging them.

Last year, I made a free literacy center that used task cards to spell simple CVC words, color words, and number words. The intention was to have students use these cards along with magnetic letters to read and spell words. I have recently updated the file to include a recording sheet for my struggling students and wanted to share the product again in hopes that others can use it in their classrooms!

Check it out on TpT here

Here are some pictures of the product so you can get a better look at what I'm describing! :)





I hope that anyone reading this post finds this freebie useful and that your students enjoy using it! :)
