Imagine It Templates
Templates help introduce the new learning for the day as well as review what has already been taught. There is an explicit way of using each of the different templates that was taught to our staff when we were involved in the Reading First Grant. The Granite School District Reading Coaches would have the explicit template instructions if you are interested in those (I didn't create them so I can't put them on this site). The general idea is to point to the side of the letter or word, wait 3 seconds then tap underneath to have everyone read it chorally. In my class I usually do the 3 or 4 templates for each lesson first thing in the morning before starting the morning message. We have found these templates to be very useful in helping students master the skills. They go from Getting Started to Unit 7. Unit 8-10 is all review and so doesn't have templates that go with the lessons. There are templates for sight words and sounds within the powerpoint slides for units 8-10.
