McGraw-Hill Wonders one st Grade
Thanks to Julie Burchfield and her first grade team from Jefferson County, Alabama, for requesting that I create packets for this new series! Each packet contains seven pages of activities and opportunities for children to explore the high frequency words for the week.
Feel free to download and reproduce these materials for your own personal classroom use, but please leave my name at the bottom of each page.
I have added supplemental activities for each week based on the phonics/spelling skill listed in the matrix. I have also added readers and some shared reading books.
Let me know if you have other requests for this series:carl1404@msn.com. Since I am a retired reading specialist I don’t have access to the teacher’s manuals, but the matrix is packed with information that will allow me to enrich your program through this web page.
Thanks for providing the opportunity to help you help yourselves and your children. Enjoy!

In an effort to make things more convenient for first grade teachers I decided to create a collection with all of the supplemental materials on it. Unit lessons have a seven page activity packet, phonics and/or spelling practice activities and a guided reader for independent practice of high frequency words and/or phonics skills.
