Do your students have a hard time with double vowels?

Good Morning. It is a sunny day here in my world. I have been hitting Pinterest again and found a digraph chart to help my struggling readers. It is FREE of course! The author is Let's Get Fancy in First and below is the chart. It gives great pictures AND a flip the sound section to help readers hear the difference between short and long vowels. What do you think about this?

Blogs You Need to Go To........

It has been a few weeks since I last blogged. I have been busy, just like all you teachers and mothers out there, not to neglect the fathers as well. I am currently on my spring break, so I have had time to go on Pinterest. I have found many great ideas. I have also come across blogs that I think you might be interested in. I have two today. Samples of the work that I downloaded FOR FREE is pictured below. This first idea is from ilove2teach. I just downloaded a prefix/suffix activity for my students reading notebooks. They will not only be able to record prefixed/suffixes from the lesson, but also add others as they read to self or read to a partner. Examples of how exactly to use it are on the link above.

Another blog that I found is called The Bubbly Blond. There are many good guided reading ideas on the blog. I downloaded a Monday through Friday guide for guided reading. It is spelled plainly. I figured I can use the parts I like and change what I need to for my routine. More examples are on the link above. 

I will share more blogs as I come across them. In my learning of How to Train a Teacher, if anyone can tell me how to save a button and put it on my blog, I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to let you be able to go to these sites at once.
