Bear Snores On

 

My little guy and I are working on rhyming and reading short, repetitive text. We were given Bear Stays Up for Christmas when he was a baby, and grabbed the rest of these books by Karma Wilson at the library recently. Check out some of the fun stuff we've done after reading them.

As a teacher with a master's degree in special education, I'm constantly thinking about modifications and accommodations to meet learners' needs, so I included some free printables in different output formats, which allow students to show what they know in different ways.


If your class is like mine usually are, there is a wide range of reading and writing performance, so I'm happy to be able to support you and your learner(s) and provide examples of different ways your students can demonstrate what they've learned.
 
This EdWordle is neat and can be used in many ways. Beginning learners can create their own using words they know from the story. Advanced learners can create their own, including only specific parts of speech or whatever you ask them to do, and even put it in a shape related to the story.


Here's another way of meeting standards, using a table to answer a question. You can even edit the Doc to include a row or two to have students add their own answer!
