Guided Reading & Leveled Literacy Freebies!

Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! It's c-h-i-l-l-y here in Baltimore, but no worries...I'm headed to the BEACH on Friday! I'm jumping on a plane to Florida after school and literally spending only 36 hours there, but it's so worth it! 

Since I most likely will be scrambling next Sunday evening and may not have the opportunity to post, I thought I would load up the freebies today!

Here's my GR freebie of the week for 

Pond Animals Level A from Reading A-Z :

Another small reading success I've been using is the Leveled Literacy Instruction series from Fountas and Pinnell. If you have access to any of the series (orange, blue, or green), 

be sure to grab it for your strugglers!

I've been incorporating these lessons 3-4 times per week. Each lesson can be from 5-7 minutes up to 20+ depending on your students' needs. My students already receive extra word work in Power Hour, so I use the little readers and created a predictable writing text to supplement. It literally takes less than 10 minutes, but guarantees my students have a successful reading and writing experience. They love it and so do I!

Here's an action picture of use working with the LLI readers:

I hope you find these resources useful!
