Spark Literacy

Description

Spark Literacy makes learning literacy less like work and more like a game! The activities are so much fun, students master the Big 5 literacy skills almost before they even realize they’ve been learning! All of the activities are standards based, and they have been thoughtfully designed to introduce, practice, review, and grow critical language skills in a way that makes sense to students and to the adults who are guiding them. The clear, easy-to-follow directions, user-friendly vocabulary, and helpful instructions on skills and strategies make learning literacy almost effortless. Use the kit to practice and strengthen skills during the school year, review over the summer, or get a jump start on the next grade level!
