Guided Reading Idea

Moving back to first grade this year, I loaded up on the #targetdollarspot magnetic letter packs for $1. What perfect use for word work during guided reading or even word work during centers or whole group phonics. I knew I wanted to get some small container so the students could easily store the letters... so I went hunting! I found the perfect little containers at Michaels! These 4x6 photo holders are MADE to fit these letters- AND the best part is that they were $1.19. Talk about a bargain! I grabbed six for my small group table and set to organize and prepare them. That's when the genius idea of magnetic tape hit me! How awesome is that! Now the kids have a small tidy little workstation right at their fingertips!
