Wonders by McGraw Hill – Supplemental Activities

Are you looking for engaging activities to supplement your Wonders by McGraw Hill curriculum?

I used to spend hours printing, laminating, and prepping engaging activities to reinforce ELA skills during centers. Less than half-way through the school year, I got tired of searching and prepping, which is when…

I discovered BOOM CARDS!

BENEFITS OF BOOM CARDS

Boom Cards are one my favorite supplemental activities! Boom Cards are interactive, self-checking, digital task cards. Here are some of my top reasons for loving them:

  • Boom Cards keep students engaged as they master ELA skills.
  • They are digital so there is minimal prep work.
  • They are self-checking so students can get immediate feedback.
  • Boom Cards are perfect for guided instruction, review, or for station activities.

Read this blog post to learn more reasons why Boom Cards are the bomb!

There are SO many skills to teach in our McGraw Hill Wonders curriculum that it’s important to constantly reinforce them throughout the year. Boom Cards are such a fun and easy way to reinforce skills!
