***NEWLY UPDATED*** Pack now includes a card about Who, What, When, Where, and Why in our writing. We use these cards to teach the students the different stages of the elements of writing. It includes: Using capitals Using punctuation Adding finger spaces Using phonetic or correct spelling (letters/words) Putting name and date on the paper Using commas Using sight words I write my students names on clothespins and move them around on the cards depending on which element of writing they are working on, or need additional practice with.

I found that the best way for students to learn their sight words was to have them wear the sight word that they are working on. I tried stickers with the words, or stamps on their hands, so that the word was always close by if they needed to refer to it during class. But stamps wash away and stickers lose their stick, so I came up with bracelets. Mine are colored for each different sight word that the students are working on. It helps differentiate if they are working on more than one sight word at a time. This 2nd set includes the second 10 Fry Words: if, he, and, it, is, see, look, of, in, at. Each page includes 8 colored and black and white bracelets for each of the 10 sight words. Simply print, cut, and tape around your student's wrists, so they can easily wear what they are learning!
