Ericka Cherrito –
This was a perfect review and check in to see if my students were understanding context clues. I was able to quickly print them in color, cut and tape around the room for a walk around the room game. Students walked the room and completed the task cards. They were all engaged and the added recording sheet was perfect. The sentences are great and easy to read and understand. I was able to walk around and help my lower level students as well. It did take more than 1 day to complete this during my reading block so it can be cut into several days if needed. It can be adapted for groups, partners or individual.

This was perfect to just assign to my students as an assessment. My only problem was I didn’t realize there was no place for the students to put their name so the first two students to turn it in didn’t have their names on them. I was able to edit the form so the rest of my students now have a place for their name.

Loved this resource. We started with It Figures as a whole class practice, then moved on to the next two for independent practice.

Thanks for your hard work!

My students are at very different levels, and so the differentiation of the product makes it very easy for me to meet my student’s needs while teaching this difficult subject. Middle schoolers are aware of the level of work they are working on, but when reading, we work in small groups, so it is easier to work with students on the level they require. Thank you for making reading groups easier and fun!

My students and I absolutely loved this resource. This really worked with what my students really need to help them be successful and meet their IEP goals. Getting prepared for state testing, this is a great resource to use to help the students understand how to determine the meaning of unknown words. I really enjoyed how it allows the students to start getting more independent to determine the meaning of words they don’t know and allows them to get that higher level of thinking in making them create their own definition of the word as well as their own sentence using the word.
