MLK Pocket Chart Activity and Printable Readers

This Pocket Chart Activity uses a simple and repetitive text to tell the message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and transfers it to the pocket chart in your classroom. There are pictures to use along with the sentence strips.
The HALF page reader prints in black and white and two per page which helps save paper when copying for the whole class.
The FULL size reader also prints in black and white allowing ease of use in small guided reading groups.
Detailed cover for an eight page emergent reader. Includes follow-along touch dots to aid in tracking left to right. Text and Pictures indented to allow for staples.

Also included in this packet:
nine character trait puzzles
six puzzles using the key vocabulary words and matching pictures
A full-color copy of the poem about Colors
Writing templates with character traits in the headings to encourage your students to write about what the words look like to them or how they would show that particular character trait.

Targeted High-Frequency Words: a, all, be, for, had, his, in, to, was
Key Vocabulary words: care, dream, equal, free, hope, kind, peace, respect

I use this as a follow-up after discussing why we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
