Reality vs Fantasy: I created these posters to give a little more detail about fantasy in children's literature. I included the six motifs that can be found in fictional literature. These are:
Magic
Otherworlds
Universal Themes
Heroism
Special Character Types
Fantastic Objects
I also included a set of bookmarks to give students a quick guide to identifying fantasy. I do hope that these may be helpful to you and your students

FANBOYS
Join words phrases and clauses using the coordinators (mnemonic FANBOYS). Students can use these posters to help memorize coordinating conjunctions so that they will not forget them! They are:
F = for
A = and
N = nor
B = but
O = or
Y = yet
S = so
Each poster bears the coordinating conjunction with an illustration of a boy (named) and an example for easy reference. These are great for bulletin boards or literacy centers all through the year.
This set includes posters ONLY!
Check my store for other conjunction resources.
Needs and Wants: What does Santa need to survive in the North Pole? What does he want but can do without there? This is a two-poster set that explains needs and wants to your little ones.

Beginning Middle End: Sound Center Cards: This is an editable powerpoint for your customization. Simply edit or remove the text boxes as desired and print selected page. After editing I suggest that you save the file under another name to avoid permanently altering the original file. You can delete beginning, middle or end phonemes for students to insert. Another alternative is to delete all the letters so that they write them in. I included small picture cards to aid mastery. The pages or sections that cannot be edited are specifically marked.
Enjoy!

SUGGESTED USES:
Classroom posters can be used as a teaching tool to recognize goals, set expectations or to introduce or review concepts. They can be used as standalone aids to help students master particular strategies and techniques.
The following are different ways of using classroom posters:
They can be printed standard size (8.5x11 inches) and binded into a booklet as a study resource for students as an individual or small group activity.
As anchor charts
They can be used as reference books for small group use. Simply print and slide pages in sheet protectors to compile a binder or folder document.
They can be used as individual reference charts. Simply print the black-line version (if available) onto colored paper for students to stick in their notebooks or interactive journals.
Sight Words
Sight Words: Did you ever wonder whether your chosen sight words were considered under the category Dolch, Fry or Fountas and Pinnell? Well here is a comparison table just for you. The first 400 words of Dolch’s list are compared to Fry’s Instant words and F&P’s high frequency words. This is handy for all teachers as an easy tool to organize your sight words especially if you need to tweak your existing pool of sight words to reflect the spectrum.
Final Consonant Blends: This resource pack contains 153 Illustrated picture word cards that depict the following final consonants:
-ld, lb, lf, lk, lm, lp, lt

-ct, ft, pt, xt
The cards are formatted three (3) cards per print and are large enough for classroom display on your word wall.
Alphabet: This is a wonderful way to get students to practice their letter identification and sounds. Simply cut out the alphabet fish cards and place a paper clip over each card. Fishermen (kids) will use their fishing line to catch a fish. The fishing lines can be bought commercially or made with a short stick, 20 inches of store string and a small magnet for the fishhook. Each child gets a turn trying to catch fish. If he can call a word that begins with the consonant sound on the fish he has caught, he may keep the fish. If he is unable to think of a suitable word he returns the fish, face down to the fishpond. This activity is for both small and large groups and is self-directed.
Enjoy!

A Teacher's Idea
Letter Writing:
Are you looking for alphabet writing sheets, tracing mats and playdough learning mats? Well you have found just that! These writing sheets were created with versatility in mind. You can print and laminate sheets to work in any of the three ways outlined above. Another option is to print and tie sheets together using punched holes then place in your early writing centers. All your kids will need to do is use the dots as a guide to begin writing each letter, getting as close as possible to the lines for uniformity.
