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!

Dear Mailbox,
I have been using Mailbox from online for the past several years. Having taught 4th grade for several years the ideas from the Intermediate book go perfectly with our curriculum and bring a greater enthusiasm to many learning experiences. After looking at the Independent Practice samples they are perfect for our new Reading Program which requires us to have learning centers.

My husband and I own a training and consulting business. We train childcare providers and consult with owners and directors of centers. I previously, for 33 years, owned a private child care center. I have for MANY years used The Mailbox in the classroom and now I refer to it for my training information, hands-on activities and refer the magazine to our participants. I am always looking for simple ideas and I am very interested in the “Super Simple Independent Practive” book for preschoolers. Thanks!!!
I LOVE everything about the Mailbox magazine. It has brought life to so many of my old, boring ways!
I have used Mailbox ideas for 21 years. I have taught Kindergarten, Second, & Fourth Grades. The Mailbox ideas have helped to enhance every subject matter I have covered. I am sure these new independent practice books will be a great asset in my teaching.
This looks like a great idea. If I won, I’d want grade 1 or two.
I’m glad I stopped in for a look at these new books. I teach a multiage 1/2 grade combination class at a new charter school with few curricular resources. The ideas contained in the samples look easy to prepare and adapt for use into a classroom where differentiation is crucial.
I cannot get enough of Mailbox books and magazines!
This looks just like the key to changing up the stations at my preschool from time to time! I LOVE MAILBOX!!!!!!
These books are wonderful for centers! They are not just busy work, they are wonderful at incorporating manipulatives. My fourth graders love these activities. The activities are perfect for centers or seatwork and are easy to differentiate.
As a new 3rd grade teacher, I’m always looking for activities to include during my Guided reading time, this is just what I need.
