Spiral Review Strategy {plus freebie}

I don’t know about your students, but mine tend to have the use it or lose it thing going on when it comes to some skills!   Give my students a long weekend or a longer break and they look at me like I have three heads when I refer to a skill that has clearly been taught and practiced!  Thank goodness it doesn’t happen with everything I teach!  Haha!

One strategy I have found to be extremely helpful to combat the use it or lose it problem is spiral review and practice…DAILY!   I incorporate this strategy into many lessons during the day.

But the easiest and most effective way I have found is the use of  morning work.   I have created a product which provides my students with daily practice of many important ELA and Math skills which they tend to forget about without such practice.  It is great for reviewing previously taught skills in a “themed” kind of way.

My newest Morning Work pack has a Valentine’s theme.  Somehow the cutesy clip art draws the kids in and they don’t really realize that they are practicing many essential skills!

Here are two sample pages:
