I’m an EL teacher, and many of my young learners have trouble with writing and understanding even the basic sentences they are reading. This resource uses easy-to-understand graphics to help kids read, then trace, then sort a sentence. It also links those graphics to some of the first sight words they need to learn (ex. I, see, like, we). It’s been a great resource for struggling students and English learners especially! We laminate these and use Velcro dots to make this into an easy center or independent activity for struggling learners, or it could be sent home or used individually as a read, trace, cut, and paste activity for more independent learners.

Are your students lost when you give directions? Do you need to repeat yourself 20 times before kids know what to do? These visuals are for you! I made these visuals to support my young English learners in their regular classrooms. This is such an easy way to help kids understand what to do, so they can focus on the content and not on trying to remember whether to glue or tape first! You can use this product so many ways. Stick velcro dots on the back of each one and list each direction in order, put magnets on them and hang them up during an activity, place them around your centers to remind students what to do in which order, or even create your own poster using the cards that are most helpful to your students. You can even use these to help teach newcomers about classroom directions! You get: 33 visuals/classroom direction cards Some directions included: sit/stand, write your name, turn in your paper, work by yourself, work together, listen, read, watch, look, write on the board, share with the class, ask a question, etc. Follow me on Pinterest and Instagram!
