Tips for Spiral Review

from Not So Wimpy Teacher Podcast Hosted by Jamie Sears

I am just going to come right out and say it... I HATE worksheets. I don't just dislike them. I literally hate them. I didn't always have a choice. I was required to use certain worksheets. And in the past, I would give more worksheets than I should have. I used to print a spiral review worksheet for my kids to work on as morning work every day. But I have learned and grown as an educator. I am going to challenge you to ditch those spiral review worksheets. Why ditch the spiral review worksheets? -They are boring and do not keep our learners engaged. -They almost never match your pacing guide. -They can be a huge time sucker. How should I spiral then? -Build spiral review into your small group time. -Give students review activities that are more engaging than a worksheet. I love to use centers and menus. -Keep the task cards handy. -Look for natural times to review during lessons.
