Boom! Learning Preview

It's about time, teachers, for another preview of -- 

Last week I highlighted a phonics sort for young learners, The Green Giraffe. Now have a peek at something for upper grade students...

This FREE set of cards challenges your students to use their critical thinking skills to create word relationships.  

Here's how Triads work: find a word that can be added to each of the words on the Triads. 

The common word comes before or after each of the 3 words to make a familiar phrase or a compound word. In this example, the common word for the Triad is CAT; CAT litter, CATnap, and black CAT. 

All of the answers for this deck are fill in the blank. So, students type in cat, then hit "Submit," and get instant feedback.

You will absolutely love watching your students' "light bulb" moments.

This is a great activity for a literacy center or enrichment. It could also be used as an anchor or sponge activity. Fast finishers love this challenge! So, why not give them a try? If you like this challenge, try the next deck:

BOOM! Learning Cards for Your Interactive Whiteboard

Last week I discovered 

Have you checked it out yet?

I thought you might appreciate a little preview of how these cards could work in your classroom. This preview is based on my deck, Monsters Love Contractions.

This is a screenshot of 1 of the cards.  It is what a student sees.

The student types his/her answers in the boxes.

Once s/he has typed in both answers, s/he clicks on "Submit."

(I was too slow to get a screenshot of it!) It does not tell whether the answer is right or wrong.

After the student has completed the deck, s/he will get a message and earn some rewards.  

The site provides an explanation of the rewards.

It's really easy to set up your class.  I'm an enrichment specialist, so I have more than 1 class.  That is possible, too.

Following is an example of a report for the teacher.

If you haven't checked out Boom Learning, you really should.  I think it holds great promise for all teachers.

Please visit my store @ Boom Learning. Thus far, I have 14 decks and I add more every day.
