As promised, we are back with another round of new, free resources! If you missed the first post, click here for blank graphs, story labels, a weekly story tracker, and a difficult word list. Keep reading for new student surveys, stickers, labels for Word Warm-ups Live Level 3, and story title scrambles. 

 

Student Surveys

Our new student surveys provide a great opportunity for students to self-evaluate and reflect on their progress. Students completing the surveys may feel a greater sense of responsibility for their own reading development. The activity will also generate useful feedback for teachers and parents to review.

How to use:

You can have students complete the surveys at whichever milestones make sense to you (e.g., after the student completes a level, once a month, etc.). Before the student completes a new survey, consider prompting them to review their previous responses (if applicable). 

We have a blank survey option that is an interactive PDF. You can fill in your own prompts by typing in the left-column boxes.

Stickers!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged..." that students love stickers. 

How to use:

Print the stickers on 3/4" blank, round labels (such as Avery 94504 Easy Peel Circle Labels). Award stickers to students for getting 100% on their first attempt at the quiz, passing a story on their first try at the hot timing, completing a hot timing without any errors, or other accomplishments of your choosing. The stickers work nicely with our story labels, which students may place either on a sticker sheet (cardstock/construction paper) or on the cover of their folder.

Labels for Word Warm-ups Live Level 3

We added several new labels in Part 1 of the Free Resources—NEW Printables series, but Word Warm-ups Live Level 3 hadn't been released yet. Now that it's out, we have labels to go along with it!

How to use:

Print the labels on 1" x 2-5/8" address labels (such as Avery 5160 Easy Peel Address Labels). Allow each student to keep their label sheet in a folder designated for their Read Naturally work. When the student passes an activity, they may place the corresponding label either on a sticker sheet (cardstock/construction paper) or on the cover of their folder. As an additional motivator, consider offering additional stickers for particular achievements (e.g., getting 100% on their first attempt at the quiz, passing a story on their first try at the hot timing, completing a hot timing without any errors, etc.).

Story Title Scrambles 

How to use:

As a reward for completing a level (or a set of 12 stories), students can unscramble the titles of the stories they just completed. Students may also rate the stories according to their enjoyment or how much they learned.
