- Socrative is a cloud-based student response system that allows teachers to create simple quizzes and get immediate results. Excellent for checking understanding. Pictures can be used, so this is excellent for checking phonemic awareness in lower grades! Tutorial

Waiting Games and Transitions
I was recently reminded of one of my favorite ways to redeem those minutes spent waiting and thought I would share! Use riddles and hink pinks to boost critical thinking and language skills when you have a few minutes to fill. Create your own cards or purchase them on TpT. Keep cards on a ring or in a library card pocket and choose one randomly. Kids love these! Here are a few links to get you started.
