Toss Tell and Take My students love Toss, Tell and Take Kindergarten Math so much,  that I created Toss, Tell and Take Kindergarten Language Arts.  

This is an organized, fun way to practice kindergarten language arts skills. This is a great guided reading activity or can be used to provide language arts intervention. 

The following Kindergarten Common Core Standards 

can be assessed and practiced with this packet...

RF.K.1 Recognize and name all upper and lowercase letters.

RF.K.3 Associate the long and short sounds for the five major vowels

RF.K.3 Demonstrate basic knowledge of letter-sound correspondence by producing the primary sound for each consonant.

RF.K.3 Read common high-frequency words by sight.

RF.K.2 Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.

RF.K.2 Recognize and produce rhyming words.

See this unit in action. 

These smarties are practicing identifying long and short vowel sounds 

during their guided reading group...

The Mitten

We have been reading The Mitten by Jan Brett

We read the story, sequenced the characters and watched these online...

We did a Readers Theater of the story...

{You know your kids love readers theater when they start saying 

"I want to be the owl." while you are reading the book:)}

We read and compared these different version of The Mitten 

and wrote about our favorite ending in our Reading and Writing Notebooks.
