Can I use Spiral WarmUps for reading instruction?
Warm-Ups are a great space in your instructional time to reteach core concepts, provide practice for fluency skills, relearning of spelling skills, and mastery of essential basic reading skills. A reading warm-up should only take 3-6 minutes.
Does Spiral WarmUps work with Reading Workshop?
Yes Spiral WarmUps work with the reading workshop, and they don’t replace it. Use the warm-ups when you would normally take attendace, before you start the workshop, when you transition from reading/writing workshop to another subject, or as a work station within the reading workshop.
What reading skills do Spiral WarmUps address?
As a warm-up, we don’t replace your core curriculum. Instead we address the fundamental skills needed to be successful in your grade-level curriculum. These include: word decoding, word meaning, spelling, reading fluency, vocabulary development, and basic comprehension.
What grade levels are Spiral WarmUps for?
Grades 2-7. Our most basic word study warm-ups address 1st and 2nd-grade skills, but are appropriate for 2nd semester 2nd-graders. Our most challenging fluency and comprehension warm-ups are appropriate for 6th- and 7th-grade remediation.
