Phonic Worksheets for Early Years/Intervention - Growing Bundle
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Activities, Games
This is a pack of Bumper Pack of seven (to date) books of phonic worksheets for the digraphs: EE, AR, OR, A-E, I-E, O-E and U-E specially designed for the very young child, or the older child requiring reading/spelling intervention, including those with dyslexia or who may be suspected of being dyslexic. These sheets are LETRS and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programmes, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. What is included? 7 PDF's of 12 worksheets each covering the sounds: EE, OR, AR and A-E, I-E, O-E and U-E, all following my special method devised as I privately tutor children of all ages with profound special needs. 1 PDF of 40 worksheets teaching the L-Blends: bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl. 2 PDF games for AR and A-E in full colour and black and white to send home for extra practice! Other packs have one-sheet, no-prep games. Who are these worksheets for? I have written them for young pupils who may be a little slower at processing information. This includes children who may be DYSLEXIC or have ANY other kind of processing disorder. Such children may be at risk of failure or even have failed with other methods of teaching phonics. Such pupils need activities that: Are highly structured - one tiny step at a time building on the one before using only a limited number of words to start with and only using words that the child has already learnt to sound out, with no nasty surprises. Have only a little on each page as these pupils tire easily. Have a simple layout to help them focus on reading and writing without distractions What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out over the course of the 12 worksheets: 1. See it! where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out! Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by using sound-it-out boxes for reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word prior to blending the sounds together. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound with a dictation which culminates our work before we remove on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. Flashcards are included in most books. Phonic Games are also included for AR, A-E and O-E stand as one-sheet, no prep games in I-E, O-E and U-E.

Personal Safety Lesson-Safe and Unsafe Secrets
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This resource is a personal safety lesson specifically about safe and unsafe secrets. This is such an important skill to learn as asking children to keep unsafe secrets is part of the grooming process from child molesters. This is a key lesson in preventing childhood abuse. In this lesson, you will have a 9-slide Google slide presentation. The flow of the lesson is self-explanatory and there are slide notes to guide you on what to have ready for the students, what to print off, and what handouts should also go home with students. The first part of the lesson is asking students what are words and actions that cause them to feel happy or sad. The next part is a lesson about red light and green light (unsafe and safe) secrets. There are 6 examples the teacher or counselor will read and students will hold up either the red or green light (these handouts are provided). The next step is reviewing safety steps with the students in case someone is asking them to keep an unsafe secret. Students are encouraged to role-play these steps. Lastly, students will draw 2 safe adults besides their parents. The safety steps and safe adult' drawings should go home with students to share with their parents or guardians. After the 9-slide presentation, there are 3 handouts to copy and print out for students in preparation for the lesson. Read the slide show thoroughly before teaching this lesson so you will understand the flow of the lesson and the different activities. Because this is a Google Slide resource, you will be downloading a PDF and clicking on the image on the PDF to access the slide presentation. Once you are prompted to "make a copy", click "yes" and make a copy. You will then have access to the product. Enjoy!

Let's Talk Feelings SEL Presentation

In this SEL presentation, you will get a 5 slide Google Slide Presentation. This was originally created for remote learning, however you can adapt this for in the classroom as well. On the second slide, there is a read aloud that I created for the book My Cold Plum Lemon Pie Bluesy Mood by Tameka Brown. This is a wonderful book about a boy with many different feelings, emotions, and moods throughout the book. On the 3rd slide, there is access to a digital spinner with many different feelings on it. Once you click on the spinner in presentation mode, it will create a new tab, scroll down for the large spinner with a variety of feelings on it. When you click on the spinner, it will move and make spinner sounds. You can choose a student to come to the board or your computer to click it to stop. When it stops there will be a feeling on the screen. You can have students turn and talk about when they have felt that way, you could have them talk in groups, you could do it whole classroom and students can raise their hand. Play as many rounds as you have time for. Next on slide 4 the students can do a feelings scavenger hunt where they find something in the classroom (or home if it remote) that reminds them of that feeling. There is animated picture of feelings that come up on the screen. This gets kids up and moving in the classroom and having fun. Finally, on the last slide you will have access to a homework sheet to pass out to students called Inside/Outside Feelings Scavenger Hunt. Students can take this home and fill it out. They will answer prompts for; That makes you feel silly?, What reminds you of a trip, etc. There are 12 prompts for them to answer.

In this social emotional (SEL) activity and SEL coloring pages, you will get a lesson plan on teaching students how to cope with change, strong feelings, and other challenges that come their way. This is such an important skill for students to learn so they can weather the ups and downs of childhood.

The coping skills they will learn about are; slow breathing, say what you see, hear, and feel, think of something to look forward to, and do what you enjoy. This is most suitable for kindergarten, first, second and third grades. There is some reading required but teachers and parents can help the students understand what each skill is. There are visuals on the coping skill sheets as well. There is a page of directions and a link to a video on belly breathing. If you like this product and would like more social emotional learning resources, please visit my store at https://teachsimple.com/contributor/jennifer-moyer-taylor I am a full-time school counselor and create my own products for my students. I test each product on students when I go into the classes for classroom guidance lessons. If a resource does not resonate with the students, I change it to be more relevant and engaging. These are really kid tested, kid approved products! Teachers and school counselors can benefit from weaving in more social emotional learning lessons in the classroom-if students are not able to cope with a feeling, they have a very difficult time learning and paying attention. It is essential to teach these skills beginning at an early age and continue lessons that are developmentally appropriate as they grow up.

Don't Stir The Drama Pot-An SEL Presentation Plus SEL Coloring Page

In this product, you will get a Google Slides lesson with SEL coloring pages and Writing prompts discussing what causes drama among friends, what makes things worse (heats it & stirs it up) and what makes things better (what cools it down). There are 10 situations to discuss as a class. You can have students use fingers (1-5) or move to stations around the room to choose what they would do in different situations. Finally, there is a reflection and a coloring activity to reinforce the importance of being drama-free. This lesson will address friendship skills, relationship skills as well as social awareness. You can use this for whole-classroom guidance lessons, small groups, and even one on one counseling. There are descriptions of what heats up (fuels) drama among friends as well as what de-escalates friendship problems. There is a 19-slide presentation using Google Slides. In the PDF, you just need to click on the image of the main cover image. This is the image of a collection of the slide presentation, the reflection sheet, as well as the mindfulness coloring activity sheet. There are slide notes on every page. Please read each slide note for each slide. This will help you have a seamless lesson with very little prep and no need to prepare for your SEL lesson. The heat-up reasons are; involving other people as messengers, bringing up past situations, gossiping, using mean words, and blaming others. The cooldown strategies are; owning your stuff (taking responsibility for your own actions), sharing your own feelings, sticking to the current situation, listening to the other person's perspective, and calming down before you react. This is a great lesson to use if you are finding students have difficulty solving their own problems among their friendship groups, small groups for girls (in particular), or hosting lunch bunch groups for girls. This is not gender specific so you can use it for both genders if needed.
