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 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!
I just found these and looked through the samples and table of contents. I like what I saw! The ideas are easy, creative, and different from the usual worksheets.
Thanks!
These look like high interest activities that will engage all learners in multisensory learning experiences. I just love the activities. My little learners will love these activities.
This looks like it is exactly what I have been looking for to help my students have engaging activities to do while I work with small groups. I am in my first year of teaching first grade and there is so much required I am glad to have this time saving book offered.
Great ideas! Just what I have been looking for, and all in one place so I can find them!!
Looking at the samples, it looks like this is just the types of activities I have been wanting to help supplement my center time. Thanks for this tip.
Sounds great. I am always looking for ideas that the students can do independently while waiting for the others to finish. I homeschool and have one second, one fourth, and one 26 year old “special student” who learns at a preschool level.
This look like some GReat activities…I am just starting out in teaching and it seems like it is hard to find fun stuff for LA…but these look like fun. I teach 3rd,4th, and 5th grade so it is hard to get all kids interested in what I am teaching. Thanks.

This book sounds like something that I can really use in my classroom for independent. I can going to order it now, Thanks
I love the idea of this book. It seems perfect for reading/math workshop independent work time. As usual, another great idea from the folks at The Mailbox.
I really like the book. We are focusing on differentiated instruction this year and it would be perfect.
I too am looking for truly ‘independent’ work. our district requires small group instruction daily and am continually frustrated because my 5th graders cannot work independently . Help.
