THE STANDARDS

The November Lit Kit covers 20+ standards across reading literature, foundational skills, informational text, language, writing, and speaking and listening.  It truly is the all in one!  Use it in small group, whole group, read alouds,  literacy centers, and literacy journals!    Each standard addressed comes with a student friendly I can poster.   You can find the CCSS and the Texas Teks alignment if you are in need of either of those.

LITERACY CENTERS

Enhance your whole group or small group time!  Use the 10 literacy centers at the pocket chart or the small group table for engaging instruction!

THE LIT LOG

To help create well rounded students, we grabbed the opportunity to help students create a record of their learning!  Not only do students develop much needed fine motor skills, but they also take tremendous pride in their own literacy journals!  Connect centers work and whole group lessons to independent practice!  (Lit Log labels included!)

COMPREHENSION

So many times we want to push back comprehension skills for a more mature time of the year, but we have included some simple comprehension helpers for both teacher and students!  You are the best model of what a good reader looks like!  We have built in activities for you to model as you read aloud to your students.  These activities can then be taken over by your readers in small group or in partner reading. With scaffolded help, students can respond to different types of literature right from the beginning!  We have been working on great comprehension habits from the first month of school and continue to refine and extend the standards and rigor month by month!

As we get into parts of speech it is really helpful to have visuals to help anchor the concepts.

  1. Thank you for printing CAPITALS and lower case as you did. A small thing that makes a huge difference to our kinders.
