This is a three-point rubric for informative writing. It includes grading criteria for the topic sentence, organization, details, conclusion, conventions, and word choice.

This is a spelling test based on the 'sh' phonic digraph.  After completing a lesson on the 'sh' digraph, I give students this paper.  I have them fold back along the line of the spelling words.  I administer the test.  When complete, I have students unfold the words and self-grade.  For every word misspelled, I have them rewrite the word correctly 3 times.

I use this spelling test to see if students have learned the spelling pattern 'th' digraph.  After the phonics lesson, I have the students fold over the spelling words to the back.  I administer the test.  Students then unfold the words and self-correct.  Any word that is misspelled, they spell correctly along the line 3 times.

You can use the Google Doc link to make your own copy and then change words that might not be the best fit for your students.

I use this money word problem worksheet as a relay.  Students get one card out of a stack of word problems that I laminate.  They then rush with a partner to answer the word problem.  If they get it right, I give them the next card in the stack.  If they get it wrong they go back to their desk and try to resolve the word problem.  After 20 minutes, which ever team answers the most question correctly wins.  It is pretty competitive.

This reading worksheet contains a story with 17 words removed that follow the 'o' consonant 'e' spelling pattern phonics rule.  Kids will enjoy the reading as they try to fill in the blanks with words from the word bank.
