Word Work for Upper Elementary, and a Freebie!

I've been pulling out my old files, stuff I made when I was working with grades K-5 as a Literacy Specialist, and I made some of them cute enough to share with y'all!

Here's a Working on Words set meant for grades 3-5.  It's 18 classroom tested activities for students to use with any text you choose (their personal reading, fiction, non-fiction, or content-area passages) and practice many skills.  I went ahead and made this cute since I had such amazing feedback from my original Working on Words packet for grades 1-2, and I know how hard it is to find great activities for the upper grades!  Here's a quick look:

My next project should be finished within the week...  Since it's Monday, I feel like that's pretty attainable.  ;)    Happy Monday, y'all!  Here's a bit of inspiration I shared earlier today on my Facebook page:
Love y'all!!  Thanks for all you do daily for your students!!

Make and Take Literacy Night = Fun Parent Involvement

The ultimate goal of literacy is to help students become life-long readers, so they can be educated citizens. The child's first and most influential teacher is their parent and/or guardian. With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come.
