Trying to fit everything into a day is near impossible! Ask any teacher! So I love when I can combine 2 things into 1 lesson the marvelous morning meeting and amazing reading practice! More bang for the buck as my dad would say!
How to Combine Marvelous Morning Meeting with Amazing Reading Practice
I have the student pick a card to stretch, blend, then read (some old timers call this sounding it out)! The student then has to tape the card on his/her shirt. Click here for Cvc Games that will help develop fluency.

Then each student then walks around the room to find a partner. Each partner must do some type of class greeting; we love to shake hands!! We will change the greeting to make it fun each week!
Marvelous Morning Meeting Possibilities
There are many different greeting to use before trying to read the words. You can also have the kiddos create a greeting.
✅handshake
✅high five
✅high five and fireworks
✅fist pumps
✅fist pump fireworks
Amazing Reading Practice
The partner team has to take turns reading the other friends shirt! Sometimes friends have to help each other! For this game, the kiddos keep the same word so they are helping their friends practice plus it builds confidence because that will be one word that will hopefully stay in the kiddos long term memories.
Click here to see how we blend CvC words. Partners then move to fiend a new friend and keep reading! We work until we have greeted each friend or time is up, which ever come first.
This great practice has us talking and speaking to each other to start the day… and we practice reading! I LOVE when we combine 2+ things!
