Common Core ELA Standards & ReadyGen

If you teach in Milford, Ohio or the state of New York, you know all about ReadyGen.  ReadyGen is a K-5 reading program written specifically for the Common Core ELA Stanadards.  It addresses close reading, writing in response to reading, using evidence from texts, and all the other things you've heard about the Common Core ELA Standards.  It is hot off the press, and teachers are loving the level of text-based conversations occurring in their classroom through their ReadyGen implementation.

New programs always have a few bugs, and ReadyGen is no exception.  Student response sheets for primary students lack space needed for work.  To help my kindergarten cuties, I have created sheets that compliment ReadyGen and can be used in replace of many of the Reading and Writing Student sheets.  Here are two examples of the response sheets:


This complimentary to ReadyGen packet contains 24 student response sheets for ReadyGen Unit 1, Modules A & B.  Please visit my TPT store to purchase.

  1. My district will be adopting ReadyGen. I love that you have addressed a few of the concerns that I have with these wonderful forms. I am very curious how you feel about the program here at the end of the year, because I struggle with a few other issues, such as the number of days spent on one text, and there are no student books that help to actually teach reading. I teach Kindergarten and Make Way for Ducklings is not a book that I would begin the year with. I appreciate any comments you are willing to share!

    1. Hi Grace. I'd be glad to continue discussing Readygen with you and share what we've found to be successful. It has been a challenge for my kindergarten teachers. Please contact me at mbfosse@fuse.net to continue a private dialogue.

  2. I'm looking for ReadyGen K info and found this post, but you don't have this currently available in your TPT store! I'm in Florida and we're just getting started on ReadyGen.
