3rd Grade Reading Google Apps

Reading and math centers are an important part of many elementary classrooms. As teachers, it can be challenging to ensure that our students are on task during center time. One way to help with this is by using paperless morning meeting center rotation slides.

Center Rotation Slides

Using paperless morning meeting center rotation slides with a timer helps structure and focus students’ center time while providing necessary support to help them complete tasks independently during reading centers or math centers. Slides provide visuals and clear directions that students can follow along, allowing them to access information easily. Additionally, the timer lets the students know when they need to move on from one task to another so they don’t get overwhelmed or bogged down in one activity for too long. This helps keep their minds engaged throughout center time and encourages them to work at a productive pace. 

Reading Centers or Math Centers

In addition, having visual prompts throughout the slide presentation is helpful for younger learners who may need more support completing tasks independently during reading centers and math centers. You can insert clipart or images from Google to help students who cannot read what the center is. 

Another important aspect of the timer is that it will hold you accountable for your guided math and guided reading groups. It will keep you focused and intentional with the group you are with and allow you time to meet with all of your groups.

There are 15-minute timers, 12-minute timers, and 10-minute timers that can be used for reading or math centers. Delete the slides that you do not need. If you need more than four rotations, you can duplicate the slide. If you need more than four groups, duplicate the bar, create more squares, and move or make the timer smaller. 

Overall, using a slide presentation with a timer during reading and math centers can be incredibly beneficial for both teachers and students alike! It keeps everyone organized and provides direction so that learning objectives are met in an effective manner. So why not give it a try today?

Timers for 5 Minutes

 There are additional timers for 5 minutes in the slides for cleaning transitions, shorter center time, buffer time between subjects or a special, a challenge, group or independent work.

Timers for 3 Minutes

Finally, there are timers for 3 minutes in the slides for other transitions throughout the day. You can duplicate the slide to insert a new timer from Youtube if needed or easily edit the slides.

The topics and what is included:

• Google slides with timers for reading and math centers. 
• 10-minute timers for centers
• 12-minute timers for centers
• 15-minute timers for centers
• 5-minute timers
• 3-minute timers

Sight Words

Do you need a teacher and student-friendly sight word tracking and assessment system to progress monitor your students’ high-frequency words?

Do you want an easy and efficient way to TRACK AND ANALYZE STUDENT SIGHT WORD DATA and progress on IEP goals in your special education classroom?

Look forward to assessment day with this DIGITAL ASSESSMENT TOOL in GOOGLE SHEETS for tracking the Third 100 (SETS 1-4) of Fry’s Instant Words.

It is important for students to instantly recognize these words as they progress through second, third, and fourth grade. Even if you are not explicitly teaching the Fry Instant Words, an improvement in the students’ ability to orthographically map these words should be evident throughout the school year.

This BUNDLE includes progress monitoring for the Third 100 instant words IN SETS OF 25. Each set is displayed in an easy-to-read font and in a different order on each of 20 probes per set.

Set 1: Words 301-325

Set 2: Words 326-350

Set 3: Words 351-375

Set 4: Words 376-400

How they work:

Check the missed word on the assessor probe to AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATE WORDS READ CORRECTLY and ACCURACY. All data is copied to the student data sheet and WORDS READ CORRECTLY are GRAPHED!

Please see DIRECTIONS included in preview for full explanation of the process.

Student probes are provided in THREE FORMATS (PDF, Google Slides, and PowerPoint) to print or display.

FUN, COLORFUL OVERLAYS are included to help guide students’ eyes if you chose to present the student probes digitally.

What is included in each zip file:

· A PDF with force copy links to the Google Sheet Digital Assessor Probes, Data Tracking, and Graph as well as a force copy link to the Google Slides version of the twenty student probes.

· A PowerPoint and PDF (printable) version of the student probes.

· A folder with three fun, colorful overlay png files to be inserted into the Google Slides or PowerPoint student probes if desired.

· A PDF file with detailed directions.

Sample Goals:

The student will demonstrate an improvement in their ability to recall the most common regular and irregularly spelled words as measured by a curriculum-based measurement in high-frequency word recall from a baseline score of 23% correct to a goal score of 95% correct by June 6, 2022.

When given a curriculum-based measurement depicting 25 regular and irregularly spelled words, the student will read the words with 98% accuracy in 4 out of 5 trials.

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Fingerprint Flower Garden Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to use their pointer finger (no paint brush) to create the flower pedals. Students filled the paper with fingerprint flowers for one class period. During the second-class period, students used crayons and color markers to draw stems, leaves, grass, insects, and other things in their scene. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

30 Question Worksheets

• This resource includes six differentiated question worksheets (Multiple-Choice, Short Answer, and Short Response) for EACH passage to help you differentiate for students of ALL levels. Most worksheets require students to use evidence/details from the passages to support ideas. Worksheets come in different formats. ANSWER KEYS for all worksheets are included!

Level Complexity:

• The passages have different levels of difficulty for differentiation. In addition, Question Worksheets range from basic comprehension questions (lower-level) to inferential questions (higher-level).

• These Question Worksheets can be used as a quiz, test, formative assessment, homework assignment, classwork assignment, or can even be used during guided practice! A great idea would be to see how well students perform with the basic comprehension questions, and if they do well on that, you can challenge them further by giving them the inferential thinking question worksheets!

• You can even gather a small group of students and practice skills including basic comprehension, inferences, details, and writing. There's a worksheet for each skill! Just imagine your principal walking into your classroom and seeing all students reading the same passage, with different level questions based on their levels?! - Awesome!

20 Bulletin Board Task Display Pages

• Included in this resource are Bulletin Board Task Display Pages that can be used to display your students' work. Bulletin Board Task Display Pages are beautifully created and visually pleasing. These Bulletin Board Task Display Pages will improve the overall appearance of your classroom bulletin boards. Please note, the Bulletin Board Task Display Pages should be printed on gloss or photo copy paper for optimal quality and shine.

2 Scoring Rubrics

• Finally, this resource includes two student-friendly rubrics to evaluate students’ responses - Easy to use! One Rubric is a 4-point score Rubric used to score Short Answer Questions and one Rubric is a 2-point score Rubric used to score the Short Response question.

• You have everything you need to score your students’ responses, and immediately display on bulletin boards with the Bulletin Board Task Display Pages and Rubrics! Absolutely no preparation needed! - YAY!
