Looking for Followers!

We are looking for new followers on Teachers Pay Teachers!

Are you looking for fresh, new, academic products for your first grade classroom?

  • Our materials are all Common Core related and supported.
  • We offer progressive units in real Common Core goals and objectives...
    • Our Phonics materials teach you how to effectively and efficiently teach students to decode sound by sound and by onset and rime. 
      • Our word patterns can be used as word families or as sound by sound decoding.
      • The materials can be used as word work stations or centers, homework, morning work, products of phonics minilessons, and any other way you see fit. All materials and pieces do double or even triple duty. 
      • No other phonics program out there offers so much flexibility...especially at such a low price. They can be purchased together, by vowel, or by item; such as all the word sorts or all the word wheels. They can be used as it's own stand alone program or to support your core reading program that you are already using. Either way, you won't be disappointed!
    • Our Comprehension units involve study of the various pieces of Story Elements. Story elements and going back to the text for evidence is a big push in the Common Core. 
      • There are separate units for Main Character, Setting, Problem and Solution, and Story Mapping. 
        • The story mapping pack is differentiated to delve deeper with special story mapping for those extending readers in your classes.
      • Each unit has at least 7 scaffolded minilessons that can be done more than one day for that repeated practice, so it works out to be a unit that lasts for 2 - 3 weeks or more, depending on student ability.
      • Even if you don't teach in the Reader's Workshop format you will find these lessons invaluable when teaching students about story elements and comprehension. First Graders need time to interact orally and practice on their own with their just right books before transitioning into second grade skills of written responses. 
    • Our Math Products are also Common Core Related. These units are being added right now.
      • We already have a Common Core Data Collection Pack. Smart Board Files, blank graphs, etc. is included.
      • Our new Math Facts Fluency, Practice, and Mastery Packet is awesome! It has flash cards, home practice timing sheets for parents, a math log to keep track, 1 minute addition and subtraction probes for progress monitoring, student graphs to keep track  of their own growth and become involved in their achievements! Completely organized, digital, and ready to go!
