My Project

At our school, we use Core Knowledge Language Arts as our reading curriculum. While we have their resources to use in class, I have a lot of visual learners. After doing some research, we have discovered a shop on TPT that has created bundles of visuals, vocab cards, extra extension activities, and guided notes. All of these are sold by the unit. We have purchased units 7 and 8 to try out, and they have been phenomenal.

These bundles have greatly increased the comprehension level of my students as they read the CKLA texts.

I am able to do a bulletin board and change it out every unit. Not only do we have it to reference during main instruction, but they are able to use it as they do independent and partner work as well. They reference the vocab words on their own to determine word meanings. The guided notes have helped them gain a better understanding of the text and more accurately answer higher order thinking questions.

This gift card will help me purchase the rest of the units for this year as well as units 1-6 for next year. The materials are printed and laminated so they can be reused yearly.
