Description
Save your time and know that your students are completing follow-up activities featuring a range of reading and fine motor skills. This resource provides follow-up activities for the current Ready to Read Shared Texts and Big Books found in New Zealand schools. An engaging format is used to develop your students’ sense of agency and independence – perfect for your reading rotations.
