Fun, independent practice can be hard to find. That is why I chose the Super Simple Independent Practice series to share with you this month.

Each book features 4 activities for every week of the school year that are a breeze to read, require only minimal materials, and take just minutes to set up. That’s 144 activities you can easily add to your existing plans for students to do at their seats, at a center, or even as homework. I think they are great for differentiating activities to meet the needs of all learners.

These books are some of the newest from The Mailbox Books so I’m not sure whether you’ve had a chance to try them yet. I’ve included sample pages and the table of contents for each book. Try them out and let me know what you think.

Congratulations, Margie from Franklin Regional Middle School in Pittsburgh, PA! She is the winner of a Super Simple Independent Practice: Language Arts Grs. 4-6 book!

   I just bought this book and I love it! The activities are perfect for putting in my literacy stations, and give such meaningful practice. I have already shown it to others in my grade level, and I can’t wait to incorporate these ideas. Thanks!

   These books look like they would be a great addition to our current school curriculum.

   I work with preschoolers and live in Minnesota.
   There are many days when the wind chill is to low to go outside. Having a book with neat ideas and minimal supplies; will be extremly helpful when we get ‘cabin fever’.

   I just started doing guided reading groups in my room, and the independent students are burned out on literature circles/novel studies. These look like the solution! Plus I can order a grade lower for the guided groups I work with!
   Thanks again Mailbox!

   I love the idea of super simple books! It sounds like ELL and EC students would really benefit from these.

    Glad to hear it, Jane. You can find these books at your local teacher store (be sure to call first to make sure they are in stock) or you can order them online at The Mailbox Books online store.

    I just viewed the samples and I am very impressed. I could use the ideas duing station time when I am teaching Guided Reading groups. How do I order?

    I just found these on your site. I like the ease of set up for me and the way the activities look like they’ll interest the students. I’m looking forward to trying some of them out!
