Christopher Columbus Interactive Sight Word Reader
Help your students master sight word “is” with my newest Interactive Sight Word Reader, “This is Christopher Columbus!” This six-page emergent reader uses predictable text to share some basic facts about Christopher Columbus. For each page of the book, students cut and glue letters to spell “is” and complete the sentences.
“This is Christopher Columbus” sells for just $1 on Teachers Pay Teachers.

This full-page printout divides into two smaller coloring pages. My students always do a better job of coloring if they have a smaller picture to fill in.
In addition to a standard coloring page, this makes a great roll and cover activity when you add a dice!

Regular plastic dice make way to much noise for my sensitive ears so I bought a giant tub of foam die. Now my students have fun but my classroom remains quiet and peaceful. Many great foam dice products are available on Amazon.
The Bundle of Books
Want to know more about my Interactive Sight Word Readers? My kinders just LOVE those little books, and I know many other classroom teachers have been signing their praises as well. One teacher said her class refers to my Interactive Sight Word Readers as “the puzzle books.” How cute is that? Another recent reviewer said:
If you only buy one thing buy this. Of all the items I have bought on teacher pay teacher this one is the best!!! The children love them,the parents and I do too. Thanks for doing all your work. This is really well worth the money!!!”
Currently, the Bundle of Books contains 87 Interactive Sight Word Readers and sells for $46 dollars (a savings of 47%! I update the Bundle OFTEN and all updates are free once you purchase the Bundle. The price goes up each time the Bundle of Books is updated, so buy now for the best value.
Love the new reader!

Love the new reader! I already re-downloaded on TPT. The Bundle of Books has been by far one of the best TPT purchases I have ever made. It just keeps growing. You rock! Thanks!
As always, great post and awesome pictures!

Because Columbus Day is also a post office holiday, most, if not all banks in the Providence, Rhode Island area are closed as well. Banks that are closed onColumbus day holiday 2014 will reopen for normal business Tuesday, October 9, 2012.
Columbus Day is October 8, 2012, and Americans will soon be asking, “Is the post office open or closed today?” The next question is usually, “Is there mail delivery on Columbus Day?” Columbus day kindergarten activities
