Teaching today requires more flexibility and creativity than ever before. Whether you’re working with students one-on-one, in small groups, or managing multiple centers, you’re constantly finding ways to keep your instruction meaningful and your students engaged.

That’s why I’ve created digital versions of some of my most popular reading, writing, and math activities These resources are low-prep, high-impact, and perfect for centers, independent practice, early finishers, or even as targeted support during small group instruction.

They’re designed to give your students meaningful learning experiences—without adding more to your already full plate.

These digital activities are most appropriate for kindergarten, 1st and 2nd garde students.  They are motivating for students, provide proper support through natural differentiation, and are ZERO PREP for you!  

Today I am excited to share details about the DIGITAL VERSIONS of two of my favorite reading activities, the Sequence of Events Reading Passages, and this Sentence Building Center

Sequence of Events Reading Passages

The ability to sequence events is an important skill in reading. Knowing the order of events helps students deepen their comprehension and the ability to correctly identify the beginning, middle, and end allows readers to retell in a manageable way.

For this activity students read a passage, sequence the events of the story, and answer comprehension questions describing the events in the reading passage.

Below is an example of a printable Read and Sequence Passage.

The exciting news is that the resource now includes 24 digital slides formatted for students to use in Google Slides! This allows students to practice the important skill of sequencing from home on their tablet or computer in a meaningful and engaging way! 

Check out this video to get a better idea of what the activity looks like in Google Slides…

Before assigning the sequencing passages, I’d suggest you clearly model how to complete the activity. The structure remains the same for each passage, so students will know just what they need to do!  They can independently work through the slides at whatever pace you assign them.  And with 24 different passages to choose from, this is a single resource that students can work with for quite a long time!   

Finally, if you have already purchased the printable Sequence of Events Reading Passages this digital update is FREE for you!  Simply redownload the resource to get the digital files!

Digital Sentence Building Center

In this activity students build a sentence, write it and edit it using the checklist. They can then practice building fluency by reading it to themselves!  With two versions of each sentence, this is simple to differentiate!

The Sentence Building Bundle now includes 120 DIGITAL Google Slides! You’ll get 60 different sentences (with two versions of each), as well as editing & fluency checklists to promote independent success at home!

And just like the Reading Passages, the Sentence Building Center activity requires ZERO prep work from you! The structure remains the same, so all you have to do is clearly model how to build, edit and read the sentences. 

Once students successfully created one sentence, they’ll be able to independently work through the remaining slides at whatever pace you assign them.  The bundle includes sentences for all four seasons so it’s one resource that could last you all year long! 

Remember, if you’ve already purchased the printable Sentence Building Center resource, simply redownload the product to get the FREE digital files!

These resources are meaningful and engaging activities that don’t require much extra work from you- a winning combo for these times!  With all you have on your plate right now, I hope it can lighten your load just a bit!!
