Sarah, I just moved from fourth grade to Kindergarten this year. I feel some of your pain! If you have access to big books, I would suggest a shared reading approach. Repeated readings of the text daily, so that the children are echo reading or choral reading with you by the end of the week. Perhap

Speaking of big books, I got a really good idea at the NCRA last spring. The presenter took old bulletin board characters, shapes, etc, and mimicked popular books by gluing them onto poster board or chart paper. She added words, and laminated the whole thing. She punched holes in it, then "bound
