Happy New Year Poem This is a “Happy New Year” poem that you can use with your students to help ring in 2022! I like to write the poem on chart paper for my students and give them a copy to read in their reading binder. For distance learning you can share your screen with your students and read together. I like to have my students find letters, words, and punctuation in the poem.

Building FLUENCY and CONFIDENCE is such an important aspect in learning how to read. This I Can Read Simple Sentences NO PREP Sampler packet is from our I Can Read Simple Sentence BUNDLE! The hands-on and engaging activities included in this sampler packet will make reading and fluency into a GAME!

This packet includes basic Roll and Color (or cover) Articulation and Language skills reinforcement worksheets. These worksheets can be used in a number of ways. I have used these in individual sessions, small groups, and for carryover practice at home. Give the student a single dice to roll. Once they roll and get a number, give them their target sound or skill (for articulation I’ll use sound lists, sound cards and/or target sentence sheets – for language I’ll use vocabulary words in sentences, complete sentences, pronouns and/or prepositions in sentences, etc…). They have to use their target skill as many times as rolled then they can fill in the number of pictures rolled or they can fill in one picture per turn. With a small group I like to make it a competition, whoever gets their sheet filled in first gets an extra sticker! My students LOVE these sets and I’m sure yours will too!
