If you are teaching oi vs. oy words, this fun song is for you!!! It is SO tough for kiddos to learn the difference between when to use oi vs. oy in words, so this fun song can help them to learn that oi goes in the middle of words, and oy goes at the end.This song goes along with the Abeka Phonics Curriculum (oy in boy, and oi in coin).I have never seen my students more confident when spelling words with these sounds until we started doing this song each day!

One of the best ways to have students learn a new concept or/and vocabulary is through songs and chants. The rhythmic beat and familiar tune are ways students memorize and understand new concepts. This is particularly useful when introducing and a new science unit. Along with my Life Cycle Big Book, these songs and chants are a great addition.

Year after year, my kids would miss the same question on our district's tests!! "What does the author do?" The choices on the test would say (1) Draws the pictures, (2) Works at the Library, or (3) Writes the Words. Even though we would go over every day who the author is of a book we were reading and what the author does, my kids would still miss this question on the tests. So I finally came up with a song to help them remember what the author does when they take these tests. To my delight, the

Find Reading resources | TPT

Learn more about reading resources

Not only is reading a core concept in the study of English language arts, but it’s also a cornerstone skill for proficiency in many other subjects (for instance, without strong reading skills, students won’t be able to solve math word problems or read through primary sources for social studies class).

If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital reading resources to help your student learn a reading concept, look no further! TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.

Elementary students just learning to read can practice the basics with some simple, fun phonics practice activities or small-group reading centers focused around sight words. Students in middle and high school can read novels and complete hands-on, interactive assignments that build their comprehension and critical thinking skills. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your student's reading skills in no time.

Fun and engaging reading activities to try

Engaging reading activities can energize your students and foster a love of reading. Here are a few ideas for reading activities from our teacher-created resources that you can find on TPT and try in your classroom:

Interactive Phonics Activities

Use hands-on activities such as sorting, matching, or building words with manipulatives to help students recognize phonics patterns and learn word families.

Word Hunts

Encourage students to find specific words either in a text or around the classroom to help reinforce sight word recognition.

Reader's Theater

Bring short stories, books, poems, or plays you’re reading in class to life by assigning roles to students and having them act out scenes. This can help enhance fluency and comprehension.

Interactive Read-Alouds

Engage the class by pausing during read-alouds to discuss the story’s theme, reflect on a character’s motivations or actions, or to ask students questions.

Comparative Analysis

Explore different adaptations of the same story (book versus movie, classic version versus a modern retelling) to encourage analysis of interpretation and presentation. You can also pair texts that are similar in theme, like poems and songs.

By incorporating these (and other!) reading activities into your lesson plans, you can nurture a love for reading while enhancing comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.
