I've talked about my original Reading Practice Sentences before - they're an easy, step by step way for kids to practice sight words and reading sentences.
The jump between reading sentences and reading books is a hard one. Some kids make the transition pretty easily, and some really struggle. With my kids who struggle, I use a lot of books that don't put too much pressure on them: just a sentence or two per page. Mo Willem's "Elephant and Piggie" series is great for this. I also use Frank Asch's "Moon Bear" books.
Mostly because I needed more material to use with my students who need practice reading passages about the length of a paragraph, I made Reading Practice Sentences: PART TWO. These 48 text cards (with matching pictures) contain many sight words, use simple language, and are about everyday topics that students can relate to.
There are four sets of cards: red, orange, yellow, and green. Each set consists of color images (1 sheet with 12 images), and sentences sets (3 sheets with 12 cards total), to be printed in black and white. (So 48 cards and images, total.)
This product comes with two different ways to play with these cards. The first is in Tic Tac Toe format, which works well when a teacher is working with one student. The second is a game board designed for two players; assemble as a file folder game.
