5th Grade Poetry Handouts

CKLA follows the Science of Reading. Many schools are moving to the Science of Reading and adopting curricula like CKLA however not purchasing printable resources. I have found myself in the same spot. As I work through this curriculum I am making resources to help other teachers navigate CKLA and what they need in their classrooms to be successful. Make sure to follow me to get notified when I add additional units.

Having a focus board in your classroom is an instructional tool that enhances organization, communication, and clarity in the learning process. It helps students stay on track, engage with the curriculum, and work toward achieving specific learning objectives. This PowerPoint is editable and you can edit it to your needs.

How to use:
Print out posters and laminate. Print the cards on colored card stock and laminate. Attach velcro to cards and posters and swap them out as you move through the units!
