SKILL DEVELOPMENT

All sets or cards in Reading Manipulatives products are different. Once students are introduced to the skills and shown how to do the activity, they work independently. The individualized materials can be used for seatwork or stations. Students work on needed skills, and teachers are freed for instruction.

This guide includes a summary of the skills targeted by this product. Additional teaching aids can be downloaded from the resource section of our web site ().

MATERIALS PREPARATION

PDF pages are designed to be printed on 8.5 x 11 inch sheets. Cover-weight paper in a variety of colors is available at office supply stores or online. Print each level (A, B, C) on a different color to facilitate set selection. Lamination is recommended.

All Reading Manipulatives pieces have a code that is used for maintaining set integrity and student recordkeeping. The first part denotes the product, followed by a hyphen and the set number.

Put student sets in zipper bags. Answer keys can be kept in the bags or stored separately. Select containers for the 30 student sets that hold and display the sets most efficiently.
