I frequently receives messages from members of The Inspired Apple community asking what resources I recommend for kindergarten and first grade, so I decided to dedicate a post to just that! Please keep in mind, there are SO many resources and curriculum to choose from and this is just a very small sample of what there is out there. However, these are my personal favorites and all found in my shop. I consider all of what I will share to be supplemental – which means you should use it to enhance your curriculum! This particular post will address all things ELA.

These engaging activities will give your students the opportunity to choose how they interact with their vocabulary words, giving them greater authority over their learning!
Handwriting and Sight Word Bundle (click to view)
Description: I know your time is limited, and it’s important to get as much bang for your buck when it comes to the activities you choose for your students. And, while handwriting seems to be a lost subject these days, I can’t help but want my kiddos to have legible penmanship. PLUS, research suggests that handwriting is crucial to overall literacy, motor, and cognitive development! So, I developed a resource that will combine handwriting with another necessary skill – learning sight words! Two birds with one stone! BAM!

Description: Each set includes 6 word work activities ideal for independent literacy centers. The activities remain the same for all sets in this series, so that your students can familiarize themselves with the expectations for each activity over time, thereby developing consistency and independence.
