Kindergarten Homework - Reading BUNDLE {for Guided Reading levels A-C}
Description
------
As a Kindergarten teacher, I struggled to find literacy homework that was engaging and family-friendly. I also wanted to differentiate the homework assignments I gave my students. But I couldn’t find a way to do so without spending hours preparing materials!
I knew I wanted to give my students and their families tools to facilitate at-home learning. So I developed homework packs that are designed specifically for students at a given guided reading level.
This bundle is perfect for beginning readers who are pre-readers or can read Level A, B, or C texts with support. The take-home books will empower your students to practice their beginning reading skills at home. The accompanying games, activities, and worksheets will develop their phonemic awareness, phonics, sight word, handwriting, and writing skills.
These materials will:
- Provide you with a variety of literacy homework activities to choose from
- Help you educate parents about how to help their children with homework (through instructions sheets in English and Spanish, and links to 55 different optional parent videos)
- Allow you to assign activities appropriate for students whose families can support them with the homework, as well as students who must complete homework on their own
- Make differentiating homework assignments quick and easy (if you choose to differentiate)
- Give you over 750 pages of materials that you can also use during guided reading and/or literacy centers
Here’s what this pack includes:
-
Parent letters (in English & Spanish) to help you find out more about families’ homework needs, as well as educate and inform parents
-
Organizational materials to help you quickly and easily differentiate homework assignments
-
32 take-home books written at levels AA, A, B, and C (easy texts that students can read independently) + written parent directions sheets in English and Spanish, and links to brief videos with parent tips for reading with their child
-
32 literacy games or activities that families can complete with their children + written parent directions sheets in English and Spanish, and links to brief videos with tips for completing the activities
-
140 literacy worksheets that students can complete independently or with family support
The following skills are addressed:

My file isn’t printing correctly. How do I fix this?
The vast majority of printing problems can be fixed with the “Print as Image” solution in Adobe Reader! Learn more about how to do that here HERE.
Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?
We have a free catalog that walks you through my main resources. It can help you decide which resources are right for you and your students! You can grab the catalog HERE.
I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?
Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!
I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?
Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!
