A Deal and a Steal for Spring!


I'm excited to have a $1 deal and a steal for you!  The dollar deal is this super cute set of ELA stations for Spring & Summer.  


Click the image below to go grab them up!


Grab up this fun game below for free.  It is a fun way to practice nonsense words and great to have on hand if you use DIBELS testing in your school.



This game is designed to be fun and easy to use!  Cut, laminate and place the cards in a bucket.  During small groups, students pull one of the cards.  If they can read the nonsense word, they can keep the card.  If they can’t, they place the card back in the bucket.  There are “Bucket Dump” cards included.  If the students pull one of these cards, they have to dump all of their cards back in the bucket!  This should be a fact paced game so you can practice as many nonsense words as possible!

Head on over to my TpT store to grab up these deals!

"Make it Real" Nonsense Word Fluency ~ "Teaching in Context" & MORE!

Happy Friday Friends!!! It's Dianna from Sassy, Savvy, Simple Teaching here today!
[click on the photo above for a direct link]

I hope everyone is getting back into the groove at school after the holiday break! I'm so excited to be back here again today with some of my best blogger friends!

Remember to always check back here each day, because every day a new $1.00 deal will be posted & it will last 3 days. Remind your teacher friends too!

So I'm back today with some items that have been requested by popular demand. So if you missed them last time, here's your chance!

Who here knows about nonsense words? Whether you assess them or not, we read them or hear them every day. Students are always making up words while practicing word families that are not real, or writing words that are not real, or better yet making up new words. It's crazy, but it happens!

So I am here today with my 3 day $1.00 deal --->

Do you DIBEL? 2 $1.00 Steals for You!

Hi Friends~
It's Dianna from Sassy, Savvy, Simple Teaching! I'm so excited to be back this month with you again here on our collaborative blog. Remember, I'll be here the 23rd of each month.
[click on the photo above for a direct link, make sure to follow me for updates]

So I'm here this month to talk to you all a little about Dibels. Dibels is an assessment known as a "screener". This type of assessment is very informative with the right set of data eyes.  Dibels stands for: Dynamic Indicators of Early Learning Skills. Dibels assessments are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early learning skills from Kindergarten through 6th Grade. They are designed to be short [1 min.] fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. [University of Oregon]

I have been using Dibels assessments [all versions] since paper/pencil and the Palm Pilot in 2004-2005 school year. I was like most at first, confused, hated it, but when you understand the data of an assessment then you begin to like it. If you never look at the data in this assessment other than the color, you will never understand it. 

So I have 2 brand new products today that are geared towards the Dibels assessment, but even if you don't Dibel they will work for anyone!

My first product was posted only a few weeks ago...
