Make sure to note:

This is for ONE Bible Story Decodable reader resource. Others are /will be listed separately in my store.

For most decodable readers the writer can ‘make up’ a story by choosing from only these types of words. However, to accurately tell the Bible story, I had to use a few sight words and Bible vocabulary.

These are not meant to be in-depth Bible lessons. These are meant to support your reading program, integrating the Bible into early learning!

“These simple Book Request cards solved my problem of students coming to class without a book!”

These helpful cards are essential to providing every student with a silent reading book at all times! Whether you use the AR program or not, you realize that, as a language arts teacher, it is critical that students use their free time to read. There is nothing worse than having a child say, “I don’t have a book.” as an excuse to waste time. Possibly, the school library is not regularly scheduled for students, or they do not have a regular opportunity to visit the public library.

It had been mandatory in my classroom for all students to have a silent reading book at all times. When they would be nearing the end of a book or were unsure what book they wanted to read next, they would fill out a card and leave it on my desk. When I had the opportunity, I would look in my own classroom library and “hand pick” a book for them. students began to enjoy leaving me the book request because the books I would provide for them were completely suitable and of their genre interest. It saved All of us a lot of time! Students in my building had very limited access to the school library, and I truly enjoyed picking out very good literature for each student individually.

Have a pile of these small AR book request card handy for students to use throughout the day.…these cards are a lifesaver.

Fostering avid readers means consistently presenting books to your class. I have witnessed, first-hand, the power of consistent Book Talks with my students. Book Talks have the power to foster continued love in avid readers and reach even the most struggling readers.
Check out my no-prep Book Talk Guides for teachers. And because I am so passionate about the power of Book Talks, my Book Talk Guides will ALWAYS BE FREE!

What's Included?

• Teacher Tips for successful book talks

“ Kids really got into using these…great reinforcement.”

These tracking bookmarks will have each student highly engaged with their silent reading books. Whether you want to enrich vocabulary, hi-light the study of literary devices, or zone in on flavorful idioms, these three bookmark trackers allow students to see these elements in their self selected re@ding materials.

Included as well, is a book selection card which is designed to be used with the Accelerated Reading program. These cards completely solved the problem of students not having something to read. It was mandatory in my classroom that students have a silent reading book at all times. If they were nearing the end of a book these cards were a lifesaver I could at my leisure hand pick a book for my own classroom library and have it on their desk ready to read!

The PDF file is organized so that the bookmarks may be copied back to back and folded lengthwise as they will be keeping them in their books until they are completed. If they complete the bookmark before the end of the novel, then they may have a second bookmark. Every new book starts with a fresh tracker!

Bookmarks can be completed and turned in for a reward or bonus points. Some students are just excited to spot classroom topics in their own books. Many will share their unique findings with the teacher and their classmates! Tons of students used multiple trackers, and it WAS NOT REQUIRED!

WOW! Two different options for the same book! How fun – QR Codes and Poke Cards. Both are favorite activities for the students in my classroom. Henry and Mudge The First Book poke cards are a great independent, partner or guided reading group comprehension activity. Henry and Mudge books are a just right beginning chapter book for second grade students. Students in small groups quickly make connections to Henry and his big, loveable dog, Mudge. The poke cards are self checking. After reading each chapter, students will answer each question by selecting one of three choices. Using a pencil, straw, or pipe cleaner, students will poke through the hole to choose their answer. The correct answer will have a mark above or around the hole. The poking process quickly engages the students and provides immediate feedback to them. As with the poke cards, the QR code cards are self checking. My students love using our classroom iPods or iPads to check their answers. Cards have chapter titles on them for ease of organization. Cards are labeled poke cards or QR code cards. Answer key is included and clearly labeled. Teacher Preparation: -For QR and poke cards - Print on light colored card stock for durability. -For poke cards - Using a hole punch, at each * punch a hole. -On the back of the poke card identify the correct answer by drawing a circle around the hole or marking an X above the hole. -Laminate for durability. For poke cards laminate after marking the answer on the back. Visit again for more great Henry and Mudge poke cards and QR codes! We hope to see you soon!
