A large review pack works best when you start from what the class has already learned. Pick one literacy skill and one math skill for November practice, then use a short follow-up to see who can apply each one independently.
At a glance
Use the skill index to choose a few pages and pair each page with a short model.
1. Pick a phonics focus
Choose a skill your class has practiced, such as blends or silent e. Model reading two words and underline the part that changes the sound.
2. Ask one reading question
Read a short passage and model finding a detail. Ask children to point to the words that support their answer before writing it.
3. Build a math example before writing
Use counters to model a number bond or a fact family. Help students explain how the parts and total connect.
4. Choose the units your group uses
Pick the measurement and money pages that fit your curriculum. For ruler practice, print at actual size and model lining an object up at zero.
5. Use one fresh item as an exit check
Give students a new example with the same skill. Note what they do without help and what still needs a model.
A classroom example
In a fictional first-grade group, Dani can solve 8 + 4 with counters but struggles to write a related subtraction fact. Her teacher covers the group of four. Dani sees eight left and writes the related equation.
