Give Students Literacy Support Right at Their Fingertips
Help young learners work more independently with this Literacy Student Office packed with phonics, reading, and writing reference tools.
Students can keep the file folder office at their workspace and quickly check an alphabet sound, vowel pattern, blend, digraph, sight word, reading strategy, sentence rule, or writing step when they need help. Instead of immediately asking the teacher, students have visual references they can use to problem-solve on their own.
The literacy office also doubles as a student privacy folder, making it especially useful during independent work, literacy centers, writing, and assessments. The finished office uses two file folders taped together to create a large reference area that can stand around a student’s workspace, as shown in the product photo.
Plus, the resource includes color and black-and-white options, so you can choose the version that works best for your classroom and printing needs.

READING SUPPORTS
The included Reading Strategies chart gives beginning readers visual reminders they can use when they get stuck on a word.

The resource includes different cover designs as well as color and black-and-white options.
ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS
Clear directions and a placement diagram show you how to assemble the student offices.
Simply tape two file folders together, print your preferred version, attach the reference pieces, and laminate the office open for added durability.

HOW TO USE
First, print either the color or black-and-white version. Then, tape two file folders together and use the included diagram to position each literacy reference. Once assembled, laminate the office open if you want it to hold up to daily classroom use.
Next, introduce the sections gradually. For example, model how students can check the alphabet sound chart when they need help with a sound. Later, show them where to find blends, vowel patterns, reading strategies, and writing reminders.
During independent work, students can place the office around their workspace. This provides a little extra privacy while keeping useful literacy references within reach.
Use the offices during Writer’s Workshop, independent reading, literacy centers, word work, morning work, assessments, or everyday classroom assignments.
