Who created this resource?
This resource was designed by W. Abby Mullins, a former kindergarten and first grade teacher and mother of three, who most recently was an interventionist in a Title I school. She designed this resource with her first graders in mind so that they would have the ability to work on words in an engaging manner that lent itself to independency during literacy centers or rotations.

Resource Update Information
This resource was recently updated. However, the PDF file includes the new files AND the original files that were released in 2011 in the event that original purchasers prefer the first edition activities. So, while the page count is 38, that includes the original activities AND the same activities that have been updated stylistically. Thanks!
