Description

I hope you enjoy this NO Fuss-NO Muss printable I-Spy packet for word work. Just choose an I-Spy mat and select a differentiated response sheet that meets the readiness level of your students. It’s easy! No Fuss-No Muss!

This I-Spy is an easy solution for teachers who need to print and go without the hassle of printing to color or laminating. There are no color copies to worry about, no laminating, a ton of choices from which to choose from and differentiated to boot. If you prefer, you can always also laminate just the I-Spy mat to reduce printing needs or slip it in a dry erase envelope.

Teachers: For each skill, you will find two I-Spy mats (this will allow you to extend your practice and keep the fun going). Within each skill you will find several response sheets from which to choose. Use any one with either Mat 1 or Mat 2. Students use magnifying glasses to ‘spy’ the words and then complete the response sheet that you choose for them. If you prefer to have your students use dry erase markers for this activity, simply laminate the response sheet or slip it into a dry erase pocket. I encourage my students to mark the I-spy mat when they find a word so they know which ones they have already recorded.
