Guided Reading Beach Ball

Posted by admin on June 13, 2012 in Books, Elementary Music, Teaching Aids with No Comments


I am always looking for ways to incorporate the core curriculum into my classroom. One way is through literature. Here is my find of the day!

A third grade teacher at my school is having a “garage sale” in her classroom after school this week. Me, being a bargain shopper that loves to get first pick and good deals, went digging early today and immediately after school before the other teachers migrated down the hall. I purchased several things that I’m thrilled about, especially the two “guided reading beach balls”. One ball has six open-ended phrases, and one ball has six questions to reinforce comprehension skills. Using these beach balls will be helpful in reviewing the many stories read in my music room. Students can toss the colorful beach balls around the classroom for a fun, hands-on guided reading lesson!

These beach balls are available for purchase here for $6.95.
