Note: I can't say enough nice things about Lettering Delights. Now, I am NOT paid or compensated in any way, shape, or form by Lettering Delights. I'm just a really, REALLY happy customer.

- NOTE: All lesson plans will be removed from the site this summer (end of August).

REFRESH the page 1st....then email if you can't find something or if something doesn't load correctly, etc...
§
Hope you don't get lost! I've restructured many parts of the site.
=) And, I'm still working on other parts.
§
Where'd You Get That Font? - Lettering Delights -
Wisdom Blue (in honor of all the great
librarians out there!)
§
Word Work and
Fine Motor, and
Alphabet activities are now in PDF downloads
instead of web-based.
§
The
BALANCED LITERACY page is your
starting point for
Shared/Modeled/Guided/Independent
READING and WRITING.
§
I've combined all reading/writing
Professional Reading books into ONE
PAGE!
§
I've linked my
Leveling Books page-- for some
odd reason it wasn't linked before! :(
§ Finally, I started an Anchor Chart page. Not to say these puppies won't show up on other pages, but it's nice to have a "collection page" for them all! At least I think so! Enjoy! This will be a work in progress for August (2010).
