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 love mailbox products. The preschool ideas are always just right for my special education students. I can go to mailbox and have to come up with less ideas because they always have quick ones. These books look like they have done it again.

    The independent practice books seem to be just what they say they are - super and simple. I like no additional work is needed to to these activities.

    I’ve been teaching for 10 years now and i have always used a mailbox magazine as reference for my lesson plans. Love the ideas shown above. I’ll definately save my pennies for this one!

    I have used the Mailbox for years and consider it the best magazine out there for teachers. The activities are easy to implement for the units I teach in fourth grade. Also helpful are the tips on management and organization. Keep the great ideas coming! They are timesavers for busy teachers!

    I love the fact that the ideas in any of the mailbox materials are user friendly and can be used in small, large group or centers. This is so helpful when kindergarten needs such a variety of activities on a daily basis. Keep up the good work!

    I am always looking for ideas for my first graders to do on their own. I would use these.
    Thanks

    I love my Mailbox magazines! I tear pages out and file them by subject/skill so that I don’t have to flip through many magazines to find what I want. Keep up the good work!

    I am very excited to see the Independent practice book
    I have taught preschool in my home for over 25 years and am always looking for new ideas. I love the mailbox magazine and have used it extensively for many many years.

    This book looks like it would have some great ideas for my Kinders to use as independent practice at center time. Thanks for sharing it!

    I am a special education teacher of K-1 students. The activities are excellent for reinforcement/differentiation of instruction/and or centers. The activities are easy to create and require little time. What a wonderful resource to add to your personal library.
