Classifying & Categorizing in Action

Here is some help for those classifying & categorizing questions that appear on end of year state test.  Don't get stressed over those questions, just find fun ways to incorporate this strategy all year long in your classroom.  A Love for Reading TPT store has a bundle of Vocabulary Scavenger Hunts containing 5 fun and interactive vocabulary sorts, which require the students to determine the categories, sort all of the words and then determine the headings for each category.  We have used all 5 of these sorts with our 3rd and 4th graders and they are begging for more.  They love to race each other and see how many they can get done!  Lots of fun!  Strategies like this make reading fun & contagious!  Who said reading was not fun?   You will have your students begging to go to reading class.  Try it, and let us know what you think.  

Thanks,
Susan & Jessica
