April Literacy Loot

Hey Lit Lovers ~

April showers bring May flowers and testing season! Here are a few instructional goodies to leverage literacy in your classroom this busy time of year....  

Don't stress about the test! Check out my Grammar Bundle and Ultimate ELA Test Prep Bundle for instructional PowerPoints, strategies, task cards, and easy-to-score assessments just in time for Testing Season.  

April is also Poetry Month! Celebrate verse and balanced literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening) with the glorious Poetry Jumbo Bundle and Sonnet Writing Bundle for super fun and engaging reading/writing activities. (Students will love the Shakespeare Sonnet Insult Activity!). 

If you want to combine poetry and test prep, check out the TPCASTT Poetry Jumbo Bundlefor thirty engaging, high leverage strategy, no-prep lessons! 

Are your students showing Spring Fever and everything that entails? Reestablish your class management routines with the Class Management Jumbo Bundle and Morning Meeting Year Long Jumbo Bundle.  

I've created a Writing Activity Jumbo Bundle for narrative, descriptive, informational/explanatory, argumentative, and response to literature no-prep writing packets.     

Is one of your professional goals to become a teacher-leader in your building?  Impress your adminstrators and colleagues with the Teacher Leader Meeting PowerPoint Bundle that will showcase your leadership skills in no time!  

And finally (because it's that time of year)...I made (27) Teach and Test Bundles for when you need to teach and check for understanding on a high yield literary skill - STAT!
