Punctuation Punctuation Marks act like traffic signs and stop lights in reading. They tell us when to stop, pause and how to use our voice to signal to our listeners when we are telling, asking or really excited when we read aloud. I created these posters that can be used to help students to connect punctuation marks with voice and to build reading fluency. They highlight the Reading Stop Signs: the period, exclamation mark and the question mark only. I pride myself on creating quality resources for teachers and students alike.

Writing Prompts Very often our kids need as much guidance as they can get to take away the negative attitude they may have towards writing tasks. As a fun activity I created 'Spin, Select and Write' to bring possitivity to the writing experience. This resource contains color coded writing prompts and writing sheets along with a spin board for general topic selection. Simply print the pages, mount the spin board and print as many colored writing sheets for your paper pool. The prompt cards can be laminated, cut and placed in recycled aluminum tins or other containers. All your kiddos need to do is spin the arrow and choose prompt card of the same color that the arrow shows. They can choose the same color writing sheet to begin free writing. **SUGGESTION** These writing sheets can be used also as your students first draft pieces. You can make each student rewrite the entire story that they began, correcting all grammar and punctuation mistakes. After they go through the other stages of the writing process they finally get to re-write them on new sheets and keep in a separate folder for publication. I included blank slides so that you can create your own prompt cards.

Cause and Effect Worksheets Your students will identify causes and corresponding effects in this activity. There are two story cards for each story. One of the pictures is a cause and the other is an effect. These fun cards are a great literacy center warm-up for Cause and Effect units or for writing activities. The worksheets are great fillers as homework or for practice in identifying this very difficult skill.
