The AR reading levels were taken from this site:      Accelerated Reader Quiz List - Reading Practice at:

 http://www.gaston.k12.nc.us/schools/cherryvilleelem/parents/Documents/AR%20Book%20List.htm 

Book 1                              Guess Who
Book 2 Catch a Dream
Book 3                                Here and There
Book 4 Time Together
Book 5 Gather Around

      Harcourt Trophies - 1st Grade  PowerPoints and CRCT Skill sheets were created by  Anne Miller  (11-9-10)      

 Book 1:   Guess Who? 

Teachers:  The PDF files are made partly with ball and stick lines and the comic sans are made with plain lines.  The skillsheets are the same. The handwriting lines should help the students continue to practice their handwriting skills.

 Theme 1:      

I Am Your Friend

The CD was produced by Educational Fontware, Inc.    They designs, manufactures and sells handwriting fonts based on workbooks produced by companies that make handwriting text to sell to  schools.  If you are interested in looking or purchasing a CD for yourself or your school site,  their web address is below.
