Mrs. McDavid's Language Pockets

The Language Pockets listed below were created by Mrs. McDavid.  Each Language Pocket is created using a 9 x 12 Manila Envelope that has been laminated for durability.  Each envelope is sealed using a Velcro dot.  The prongs on the envelopes do not hold up.  A box of dots can be purchased at Wal-Mart for around $3.00.  Language Pockets are fantastic because they hold "all" the necessary materials in one place without items falling out.  I do not like File Folder Games because the pieces never stay together.  I have had great success with Language Pockets and the kids love them because they can move around to any area of the room with their pocket.

Mrs. McDavid's Literacy Tubs

Literacy Tubs are created so that students can easily access language arts materials for learning centers.  Literacy tubs can literally be a tub where materials are stored, can be a container such as a clear pencil box, or can be a collection of activities that are stored in individual zip-lock bags and then placed in a tub based on a skill.

All of the activities listed below were created by Karen McDavid.
