I then labeled a tab for each week of guided reading! This will help me to be able to access that week’s material quickly!
A closer look at week 13….
At the start of each week’s tab I have placed in a sheet protector the lesson plans, printable books, and word sorts! Now when I teach this lesson I’ll just pull that sheet protector and have everything I need!
I placed the books at the back of the same sheet protector…this way I only need one sheet protector for each week’s material.
Like I mentioned above you’ll get TWO word sorts per week with each step by step lessons. Below is a look at the long a/short a word/picture sort!

If you are anything like me you want to SEE what something will actually map out to be…so I put together this detailed listing for each of the 28 weeks of guided reading! You’ll notice I list the nonfiction book title, comprehension focus, phonemic awareness skill, and the phonic skill focus for each week. I didn’t list a specific fiction title…because honestly those ideas come to me on a whim and I don’t want to limit my ideas! 🙂 If the map is hard to read you can download it for free HERE.

Also, in the firstie bundle are these sound cards! The cards allow kiddos to practice those tricky skill focuses like r controlled! The great thing about sound boxes is that if the student is not ready to write the sounds you can have them simply push up the sounds using objects like gems/cars/etc…we do this a lot more in K, but you might have some firsties at that level as well.
You can view the firstie write it sound by sound cards by clicking below!
Here is some feedback I’ve received on the bundle so far…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE both the kinder and first grade bundles. My students love the activities and it has made my job so much easier. I also have a student teacher and this bundle has made it very easy for me to provide them with hands-on practice without needing to do a bunch of planning work. Everything is very user-friendly, but most importantly engaging for students!
The Kinder bundle is the best TPT purchase i have ever made!!! I am now super excited about this one because I have had a group of students this year who came to me on a First grade reading level. This bundle is perfect for them. I immediately printed off week 13 to try with them and I'm loving it. Thank you for all your hard work and expertise.

This would be a great option for some of my more advanced kindergarten readers 🙂
Thank you for this post!!!!!!!!! I'm am so excited for this pack. I'm struggling as what to do with the easy readers for each week. Do you copy each level and laminate them and keep them in the classroom or do you copy all in black and white and let the kids take them home??
Yes Beth, I do black and white copies so they can be placed in the book boxes and sent home! 🙂

I would love this! So many great activities and so organized 🙂
Love this. I have the kindergarten bundle and would love this to challenge my high group. Thank you for creating such wonderful activities.
Thank you for always providing such quality work that is both teacher and student friendly! I purchased the above bundle and have loved everything inside. I can't wait to put it all to use next school year! Yippee! Now my next challenge is to find the most economical way to print it all…I don't want to leave a single page out! 🙂
I bought both the kg & 1st grade bundles- they're great! The kg. stories are working perfectly for some of my struggling 1st grade readers.
All of these things are exactly what I need for my struggling kids in first grade. I have been scrambling to find things for them to do…and this looks like just what I need!!
Oh Tara I just LOVE your stuff! I really want to get the First Grade Bundle! (I entered the giveaway of course!) For our low babies we have a program called LLI but I'm scrambling every week planning for my higher kids (PM levels 5-13) so this would be perfect for that! I also have my EA run my guided groups if I'm swamped with assessments but he usually only takes over my LLI because my guided reading plans are not as easy to follow.. this would be so perfect!! I'm crossing my fingers and toes!!

Amazing, I love it.
Thank you for providing the overview of all the weeks! So helpful in determining whether this product would be a good fit for our own mapping & curriculum needs!
I have both the K & 1st grade bundles & I absolutely love them both! They have been such a time saver & my kids love the activities. I would highly recommend these to anyone! Your products are always top notch 🙂
I have the K and 1st grade bundles. I'm currently using the Kindergarten version and my students love it! I love the variety of activities and how the lesson are all planned out or I can edit them for my needs! Fantastic resource!
I am working with my 5 year old to get him kindergarten ready. We are learning our sight words and letter sounds. We would definitely benefit from a GR bundle if we hit your jackpot. Thanks!
Thank you! I have parts of the K bundle. This 1st grade would be a nice addition. I appreciate that you share how to organize everything so we are set up for success! I need organization! Thank you.
I just purchased the 1st grade bundle and organized it-LOVE IT! I noticed on the K bundle you listed the DRA level. Will you be doing that for the first grade bundle, it would be so helpful!?
Hey there! I'll work on getting that added 🙂
This is an awesome set have you thought about possibly doing a 2nd grade guided reading set?
