Free-Thanksgiving Boggle Board

How many of you have played Boggle? Boggle is a great word game to play with students. Boogle is usually a random set of letters placed together in a grid. Players or students scramble the letters on the grid to make new words. Making new words will help students increase their spelling, vocabulary, and word recognition. Playing Boggle will strengthen students writing skills too. 


I have a FREE resource for you to use this Thanksgiving. This FREE Thanksgiving Boggle Boards come in 2 versions. How many new words can you make from the word Thanksgiving? Use the recording sheet included or use a whiteboard to write as many words as possible from the word, Thanksgiving. These are great for phonics and spelling! A fun idea to put in your writing centers for the week of Thanksgiving. Choose a board and print! Plus, all boards come in a black and white version too. Click the picture above to download your freebie!

Here are some Boggle games I found on Amazon:

I also have a few Boggle boards that I made to help with phonics!
Phonics Fusion uses long and short vowel words. Students match beginning and end sounds together. Click the pictures above to be taken to my TPT store to learn more about Phonics Fusion. This is a great alternative to Boggle.
CVC Alphabet Soup is the Junior version of Boggle. This only uses Consonant Vowel Consonant words, like cat and met. Click the pictures above to read more about this pack.

CVCC Phonics Fusion is an upgrade from Boggle jr. This one uses short vowel words only. Words follow a CVCC pattern. Each task cards has students making words. Can they make all the words that are being asked for?

Have fun playing Boggle!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Free Reading Log with Writing

Do you use reading logs in the classroom? Reading logs are great tools in and outside of the classroom. Students should be keeping track of how many minutes they are reading and what they are reading. If students are struggling reading, a reading log can help them get on track. Reading logs also help keep track of the students who are reading. Many students have ignored the reading log, or get bored with them. I have a great reading log that I would use once a month. Student read 4 different types of books. Each day they so something different with the book or story they read. Students will be writing a summary, write down facts, write an opinion, and record how many minutes they read. I have a great reading log that uses writing too. A Reading Log to integrate some writing. Use this reading log weekly, or once a month for homework. Click the picture to download this reading log and begin using it today. 
 Free Reading Log with Writing

Monday: Students read for 15-20 minutes and then write a summary of their reading using the words: first, next, then, finally.
Tuesday: Students read for 15-20 minutes and then write an opinion about their reading. It can be what they thought of the book or something about the character or setting.
Wednesday: Students read for 15-20 minutes from any non-fiction resource. The students write 3 facts from their reading.
Thursday: Students monitor their reading with fluency. They practice reading the same paragraph several times. Then the student finds someone at home to time them for 1 minute and record their word per minute. Students can use their own chapter books or the teacher can provide a passage on the back of the reading log to practice fluency.

We all know students need more practice with their writing. This Reading Log incorporates both reading and writing into one. If students are already reading for homework, then this log is perfect to add some writing too! Click the picture for your free reading log.
