Strengthen the math/literacy connection with this set of 6 guided reading books that address K-1 Common Core math standards. Starring Maddy and Matt, the Math Stars!

Here's a great way to bridge reading and math with your early readers! This set of six emergent level guided reading books will support your math teaching in these topics:

* One More (K.CC.7, K. OA.2)

* Addition Strategies/Adding Doubles (1.OA.3)

* Missing Addends/ Complements of Ten (K.OA.4)

* Geometric Shapes (K.G.2)

* Data Collection (1.MD.4)

* Sums of Ten (K.OA.4)

The pages of each book are printed two to each sheet, making them very easy to assemble as books – just print collated pages, make one horizontal cut, and staple the books together.

You'll find these books useful for small group teaching in both reading and math, and also to include in your students' book boxes for frequent rereading.

The books feature simple patterned text, with small variations in pattern to promote careful attention to print.

For each book, there's also a full page teaching poster (in both color and b/w) to reinforce the math topic and to set the text pattern for reading. Use these pages with your document camera or in a small group setting.
