Word Sort Notebook
Instructions:Choose a Notebook Cover PageYou’ll find both full-page and half-page notebook covers. Students will color their cover, cut it out on the dotted line and glue onto the front of their notebook.
Create Some StorageSince your students will be completing each sort several times, they’ll need somewhere to keep their cards until they are ready to glue them into their notebooks. I always like to glue or tape a small envelope onto the inside of the front cover and use it as a pocket. To make it even easier for your kiddos to keep track of their cards, use a snack-sized baggie to hold the cards and place the baggie into the envelope.
