| First, you get this bad boy.... to the right. It's titled 'Open Me First' so you know how to begin. There are a lot of pages, so I would suggest not going the 'let's just print everything off first' approach. You might need some things on colored paper and there will be some files you'll want to save for later. Teaching K? Might want to hold off on printing set 40. I do use all 40 sets because I expect my students to be able to master them, but remember I have 3 levels of ESL/EFL students. Basically, you start with this file and plan your attack. All of these files are versatile and can be adapted to a wide range of students and classes. There's not just one way to do it, so use these how you want. :) |
| These are the word wall cards... 3x5 index card size! That's what size I always had on my word wall and I loved it. Big enough to see and small enough to store in those little index card files. Font size is 200, unless the word needed to be scaled down to fit. | These are the little checklists (4 per page) and you can use them for anything... assessment, copying, students can use them, etc. Also shown are the circle titles. Use these for a display or as little badges when a student masters a set. |
| I've included 5 different types of lists. I use the one in the foreground for assessments (kept in a binder with page protectors). The others can be used for assessments as well or you can use them to make copies for students to practice or take home. | 4 different types of assessment sheets. Choose the ones that work best for your setup! |
| Student achievement charts. Do you expect your students to master all of the sets or maybe not so many? These little charts are fun to use and students color in the circle when they've mastered a set. It's a great visual to keep in their binder, on the wall, or at home. | These are the same as the ones to the left, but you actually have little colored squares to hand out (like stickers or badges) when they master a set. | I also included certificates and badges for the younger ones! |
Let me know what you all think. If there are enough people who want the Dolch version, I'm sure I could adapt it. I'm just so glad I'm finally finished and can use it from day one (or two) now!
