Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!!!



THESE WERE SO POPULAR LAST YEAR....  I had to repost!!!

Dr. Seuss' birthday is right around the corner! In tribute to him, I have been working long and hard on a  HUGE fluency bundle in celebration of his birthday! This bundle is jam packed with fun games and cool ways to integrate the 4 fluency strategies of Punctuation, Expression, Accuracy, and Rate into a meaningful unit.

The 4 fluency strategies actually create a mnemonic device of PEAR if you use the first letters of each strategy... one of my students actually recognized this, brought it to my attention and we immediately ran with it in the moment and I now have an entire Seuss fluency unit created based all around little miss Samantha's wonderful brain!! Don't you just love when the students remind you how brilliant they are ;)

I am selling these as three separate bundles on TPT or as an entire package ...and am also giving the bookmarks away for FREE!

Most of the Seuss artwork is modified to go with the PEAR theme! 
Hope you enjoy these and your students become fluency aces!

This is a crappy picture of what my file folder game looks like :)

we all love an "i have, who has?" game!! 

Below is an example of the Seuss-style poems I created to explain the 4 fluency strategies...the one below is about punctuation...all 4 are equally as quirky and funny! :)

Having a writing prompt always makes the writing block so much smoother...here is a simple Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss prompt! 



Happy Teaching!
