I get asked all the time about my spelling notebooks and how they are set up, SO….
I decided to put together this blog post, with helpful FREEBIES that will guide you through setting up and improving your spelling notebooks!
SMART TIP: Teach a mini lesson to your class about the purpose and value of spelling notebooks so that they can understand why notebooks are so valuable. I've included a detailed lesson for FREE if you choose to download the free printables for extra support.
SMART TIP: You only need a one subject notebook for each student. That should last all year.
SMART TIP: When you head out to purchase your tabs, be sure to grab the Post-It Durable Tabs. They will stick all year!
SMART TIP: You can fit two lessons on one page, and all the spelling learning can be used week after week.
SMART TIP: Students add words to the ‘spelling words' section that they get incorrect on spelling tests each week.
SMART TIP: Students integrate writing into spelling by adding words they commonly misspell in writing into the ‘words from writing' section. These words can be added to any weekly test.
SMART TIP: Students integrate reading into spelling by adding words to the ‘words I like' section that they find interesting and wants to learn to spell.

2. The 7 things guided reading is not.
3. The key steps in planning guided reading lessons.
4. The 6 steps in an effective, best practice guided reading lesson.
5. Tips for managing groups.
6. My BEST Guided Reading hacks.

WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS POPULAR WEBINAR:
“I have been teaching for 28 years and got more out of that hour than most of my 6 hour day PD's.”
“I learned more from your webinar in one hour than all the books and other workshops I've attended combined.”
“I used your format today as a guide for my last minute, unannounced visit from our reading program's coaches and got rave reviews. She was quite excited that I was more “advanced” than the other teachers and she could work with me to fine tune my lesson plan instead of teaching me what components to put in it! I owe you big time and it was definite proof that your one hour webinar helped me more than their 3 day training”
“You are motivating me to be better even after 15 years of teaching with 8 years of teachers college training! Fantastic!”
Are you in need of a Reading Intervention Program that is RESEARCH BASED!?
This research-based reading intervention program is AMAZING.
Over 10,000 teachers are using The Reading Intervention Program and seeing incredible results.
1. Perfect for EVERY STUDENT! Whether your students are below level, on level, or advanced readers, they can use the program to work at their instructional levels!
Erica says: “The RTI has been amazing for my readers that know their phonics but still need that extra help to get caught up. It has worked great for my 5th and 6th graders! The format looks similar at every level which has made the students focus on the content instead of worry about what level everyone else is on. Win! Win!”
2. EVERYTHING ON ONE PAGE! The program includes the MOST IMPORTANT components of reading: fluency, comprehension, word work, and vocabulary practice!
3. FLEXIBLE IMPLEMENTATION! The program is so flexible that it can be used in a variety of ways. (small group, one-on-one, whole group, within guided reading, in a literature circle.)
**** Learn more about how you can use the program by taking the free, 12-day challenge:
4. EASY IMPLEMENTATION! It's so simple and effective that aides or parent volunteers can easily be trained to implement with fidelity.
5. GATHER DATA! It includes running records, teacher comprehension pages, and progress monitoring to show growth!
Kristen Says: “The reading interventions are incredible. Some of my students have increased their fluency and vocabulary by 100% (they've doubled!). My students and I are both thrilled!”
6. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED! From fiction and nonfiction passages to data pages, to student running records…everything is included!

Have you ever felt stressed with trying to fit in all your lessons into the day?
Ever feel like there is just not enough time to meet all your students at their instructional levels?
This blog post will give you two very practical and easy ways to incorporate your interventions into guided reading groups!
There are two ways that you can easily use interventions during guided reading.
BUT, first let's talk a bit about guided reading and why interventions are SO amazing to use during this time!
Have you often wondered what your students reading abilities are at the beginning of the school year because you either receive NO data or the data seems really off?
OR…
Maybe you've gotten a new student in the middle of the year and had no clue where his/her reading abilities are?
This blog post will give you 6 EASY and EFFECTIVE steps to informally determining your students' reading abilities.
Unlovable is a super cute book about a little dog who is teased by a cat who tells him no one loves him. The dog is sad, until one day he meets another dog just like him.
Stephanie's Ponytail is a great book about learning to be yourself. Stephanie goes to school and everyone copies her ponytail style. She gets so mad she plays a trick on her whole class and even her teacher that no one will forget!
