Teaching Common Core With An Election Theme
This 7-page My Election Easy Reader Booklet packet, will help you teach Common Core State Standards: RF.K1a, RF.K1c, RF.K3c, L.K2a, L.K2b
Students read the simple sentences made up of 14 Dolch words and trace key words, as well as fill in the blanks with their opinions.
Remind students that the first word is capitalized, the end of the sentences have punctuation, there are spaces between the words, they read from left to right and from the top down.
It is also a good idea to do an example, to point out each of these standards as you explain them.
Students cut and glue election-themed pictures to matching numbered shapes. I designed this election easy reader to be only a page long, so it only takes students about 5 minutes to complete and is perfect for a Daily 5 activity.
The Election packet also includes 25 traceable word flashcards + a cover, so students can make an Itty Bitty booklet. I've also included a certificate of praise for students who are able to read the booklet on their own.
You can extend your reading lesson with these traceable word flashcards, which are great for "word work."
