Included here are 7 different charts for students to track their growth in reading. There is a chart for each of the following grades: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7/8 The levels where students should start and end are highlighted and are aligned in accordance with the new Fountas and Pinnell reading goals based on the CCSS.

Students love to track their own reading progress throughout the year! These graphs include beginning of the year and end of the year reading benchmarks for each grade. Specific grades are not written on the graphs, but there is a table of contents on the first page which will help you to know which graph belongs to which grade. The levels are in accordance with the newly CCSS aligned F&P levels.

These are "I Can" cards for students for all of the ELA standards. Included here are also teacher checklists to make keeping track of standards covered much easier. The student "I can" cards are a great way to hold students accountable for their learning and to help them track mastery. The cards can be cut out and given to students as they master standards individually and can be kept on binder rings or you can hang the signs in the classroom as is, or the cards can be cut and placed in a pocket chart as the class masters the standards! I also sell each standard strand individually if you do not need the whole pack.

There are two worksheets included in this set. The first worksheet in the set has students practice the short A sound. They must put an "a" in each word. Short A is not written on the sheet. The second worksheet asks students to practice writing the whole word. Pictures are included for each word. NOTE: I realize the preview says "short A", but this WILL NOT show in the download. I'm not sure why the preview has an old uploaded version.
