VOWEL TEAM READ AND DRAW PAGES

These vowel team read-and-draw pages are the perfect fit for kids who love to draw. My 1st grader draws on everything. Any printable activity I create for her ends up with drawings all over it.

So, I knew that I needed to create some pages for her that allowed her to get it all out…and sneak in some vowel team phonics work, too!

GET KIDS TO WRITE MORE

Sometimes, it’s hard to get kids to write more. All too often, they write one or two sentences and then proudly announce, “I’m finished!” I usually respond with, “But it’s not time to be finished. It’s still writing time.” {I set a timer during writing time. The expectation is you write until the timer goes off.}

I decided to combat this all too familiar problem wusing the simple acronym, MORE.
