Introducing PTA Skills Bundles

I have easily taught thousands of ELA lessons.  As in the case of every teacher, some were textbook home runs and some were complete flops!  In spite of what I perceived to be careful planning, the latter was often a result of a weak or missing component in the lesson.

After reviewing the research, observing hundreds of classes, and reflecting on my own teaching practices, I've created a product called the PTA Skills Bundle that I hope will ensure efficiency and proficiency in the classroom on twenty-two literacy skills most often seen on standardized tests:

• Analogies
• Author's Purpose
• Cause and Effect
• Characterization
• Context Clues
• Fact and Opinion
• Figurative Language
• Fragments and Run Ons
• Genre
• Inferences
• Irony
• Main Idea
• Mood and Tone
• Organizational Writing Patterns
• Parts of Speech
• Point of View
• Research and Reliability
• Sentence Types
• Story Elements
• Subject Verb Agreement
• Titles of Works
• Transitional Words and Phrases

Specifically, the PTA Skills Bundle includes three research-based, best practice products (PowerPoint, Task Cards, and Assessment) that allow for instruction, practice, and progress monitoring - the three most important components of instruction.

Here’s how it works:
1) You TEACH the skill with an easy-to-understand, comprehensive instructional PowerPoint.
2) Students PRACTICE the skill as they review the content with high yield Task Cards that generate active engagement.
3) You ASSESS the skill with a Common Core-aligned assessment that will let you know in no time who is advanced, proficient, basic, and below basic.
