I struggled for a while with All About Reading Level 1 trying to figure out how to organize all of it. I’d seen different posts with how people were doing it and that got me thinking.
At first, I hole-punched the word cards and had them on a ring. But, if I was looking for a specific lesson, then I had to flip through all of the words. Time lost, okay only a minute or so, but in 7 year old time that is IMMENSE.
Enter my plan, and this will work smoother next year because I will know ahead of time how I want to do this.
This is a mini-manila envelope. It’s about half the size of a normal one. I suppose I could put them in full size ones, but this works perfectly once game pieces are cut out, and if it’s a lesson with only word cards.
I send the kids off to cut things out for me, and then I staple or glue it together.
If it’s a game that has a sorting element or something that “eats the word,” I glue it to the front. The eat the word games then have a slit cut into them so the game piece goes directly back into the envelope. This lets me revisit favorite games easily.
Which as you can see is wildly popular.
Behind the individual lessons are our spelling boards that I created several months ago. The letter tiles are attached with velcro to a laminated file folder.
I’m going to link over at Learning All the Time to share this

Looks like a great system!
Thanks, it's still a work in progress, so I wouldn't be surprised if I have another post later saying “I've discovered an even better plan!”
