Getting kids to want to read can sometimes feel harder than actually teaching them how to read. We can have the best phonics lessons, engaging small groups, and structured routines… but if the motivation isn’t there, it’s an uphill climb. That’s where reading incentives come in. They give students a reason to practice. They build momentum. They create excitement. And for many of our struggling or reluctant readers, that little spark of motivation is exactly what gets them over the hump. More reading = more growth. Always. With March right around the corner (and spring fever starting to kick in 😅), I wanted to share a simple incentive with you! Just print and cut out these rainbows and shamrocks, hang the sign on the wall and let them fill one out for each book they read! It’s: And it’s FREE for you. 👉 March Reading Incentive.pdf I would love to see pictures of this being used in your classroom! Tag me on Instagram @amyreneeliteracy |

Students respond to the task (segmenting or blending) and then get to put a magnetic chip, or I have used colored puff balls before as well. It covers all of the phonemic awareness skills, and I have been using it for years. See...
I love to see what other teachers are planning. I thought I would share some of the activities we were doing this week to practice vowel teams ee and ea. If you have not figured out by now, I strongly believe in making reading practice fun. The students I work with need a TON of repetitions to master a skill. I have found MANY ways to successfully give them these repetitions, while also have fun! This keeps them engaged and is highly effective. This week we are working on ee and ea. It is so...
It's finally February! Time to start a new reading incentive. Print these hearts on bright colored paper. Hang the sign on your door and have them tape a heart to the door every time they read a book!
