Super Simple Independent Practice
Posted by Debra Liverman on 07 Nov 2008 | Posted in: The Mailbox Books
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.
Just as I have done with other featured books on this blog, each person who comments on this post will be entered in a drawing for one FREE Super Simple Independent Practice book. I’ll randomly choose one name on November 21 and contact the winner via email. I can’t wait to hear from you!
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 am teaching for over 30 years. I find your books and magazines are terrific. Keep up the good work.
I have been looking for some SIMPLE ideas to use during my literacy stations. I want each week to be fresh but it is tiring “recreating the wheel” every week (especially with considering we keep having things added to our plates and nothing taken off). This looks just like what I’ve been looking for. SO I am now running to the teacher store nearest me to get at least the language arts version of the book.
I love any book that cuts down on my lesson prep/planning time. I especially love how relevant and engaging they are for my 1st graders.
As a math teacher in grades 4-6 that book looks really engaging. We are always looking for ways to differentiate and I think this book would be a great resource for that. Thanks for highlighting this book! I sure hope I win it!!!
Thank you for your wonderful publications. I have enjoyed a few of your books already in my classroom centers.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Christine
These books look like they would be a great help. Center activities are so useful in a classroom setting, but can be so time-consuming to prepare and organize. The samples show activities that use items that are easily accessed right in the classroom. Thanks for your many wonderful products!
The ideas in the preschool edition appear to take minimal prep time yet will still appeal to the children. Without that appeal the children will ignore all your hard work and best effort.
Thanks for sharing these great resources! They are in keeping with your standard of excellence. I love their simplicity, high interest and how well they match our curriculum. Congratulations on another fine product!
As usual, you have come up with great ideas to make learning more fun. Thankyou. My class enjoy activities based on ideas that I get from you, but you seem to have surpassed yourselves with this one.
These ideas look great. They look like they are activities that they children will enjoy but yet the materials are ones that we have within the classroom already. These activities will work great into our center time here at preschool.
These all look GREAT! I downloaded some of the samples of the Language and Math for my 2nd grade class. You’re right–they are easy to do. I know they will enjoy these. Thanks again for another great book.
These look like great books - sometimes independent or center ideas look great but can be complicated and/or time consuming to prepare. These ideas look pretty simple. Thanks!
