THIS IS A ONE PAGE SAMPLE OF A SIX PAGE MAZE DOWNLOAD FULL SIX MAZE DOWNLOAD INFORMATION: Maze Series This maze series is designed for students in grades 2–5. Each set features a clear, kid-friendly theme with scene-based mazes that students first navigate, then complete by drawing a few target words from a simple word list.

These mazes are student-friendly, classroom-ready, and perfect for literacy warmups, seasonal units, fast-finisher bins, centers, sub plans, or home learning extensions. The playful, structured format builds problem-solving, attention to detail, and fine-motor control while reinforcing themed content in a motivating way.

Phonic Reading Scheme for Older Pupils: EE Book 6
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools
This EE decodable reading book can help children develop reading fluency. With a matching PowerPoint, is ideally suited to Guided Reading. It is part of a series of highly structured decodable reading books with controlled vocab; all vocab is decodable using phonic knowledge the child already has (if read in sequence) and true irregular sight words are only slowly and gradually introduced. Science of reading aligned. Based on the most up-to-date phonic research. This book is the next in our new series for budding historians who may be older pupils and may have special needs and need a more mature storyline than cats and dogs! It follows on from our previous sets of ' Learn to Read' packs covering the 5 vowels and the previous books in the series so the pupil is expected to be able to blend 3 and 4 sounds securely and be ready to read words with /oo/. It can be used as a stand-alone decodable reading book provided a child can blend CVC/CCVC/CVCC words and has learned the sound oo. These books are best read in sequence. They can also be found here as a growing bundle pack with a scope and sequence. This book contains words with the following sounds: oo. This series has been written with the aid of one of my pupils, aged 8. He writes his ideas and draws pictures and then I formulate them into a fool-proof reading book using only decodable words. Reading Made Simple for Special Needs A 100% systematic phonic reading programme for all ages and abilities. Give your child a Head start in reading! Due to its 100% systematic nature, this reading programme is highly suitable for any child with a special need, including dyslexia (or suspected), or any other need that is causing a child to have difficulties learning to read. What makes this reading programme different? · It has its own, easy-to-download and print phonic reading books, making it accessible to many children worldwide. · Each book carefully builds on the vocabulary of those that have gone before, providing much repetition, without relying on predictable text. · Pictures aid the storyline without encouraging reading from the pictures – i.e. guessing. · The vocabulary is based on phonic families, which are introduced in a carefully planned way. · True sight words – those that cannot be sounded out - are kept to the very minimum. Most words are introduced in their phonic family wherever possible. · It is truly multisensory, using the power of the hand. We not only look at the words, but we write them too. This is powerful and has the bonus of turning the child not only into a reader but into a writer as well. Typical signs that this programme can help: · Difficulty recalling words when seen on flashcards or when reading texts, which results in no or little reading fluency · b/d letter reversal of a chronic nature – i.e. the child has not grown out of it · Difficulty ordering letters in words: E.g. top becomes pot. · Difficulty differentiating between like words: spoon/soon; back/black; sheep/sleep etc… · Difficulty tracking words across a page To help all children succeed, each phonic family is taught in two lessons, each a week in duration. This speed has been tried and tested to be the optimum speed to allow children to absorb new information without mental overload. You may find that some children need longer - but never less. Each phonic family is split into half and only 5/6 words in a family are studied each week. Activities are provided to give the child plenty of exposure to the new sound and the set of words that contain it. These activities are not hard, but simply bring the child face to face with the words, first individually, then in sentences, and finally in longer passages. We also seek to strengthen knowledge of blends and develop phonemic awareness through the activities, much needed by these learners. In all, the way that Reading Made Simple has been designed reduces the burden on the working memory, making it easier for children to learn to read. Children relax as they meet familiar words again and again. They begin to say – sometimes for the first time, ‘I can read’. With this programme, you can help a non-reader today! How long are the books? The reading books are 12 pages long. Why are these books FREE when other people's books cost so much? Are they of lesser quality? They are free as I regard the ability to read as being a fundamental right of every living person. Why should some miss out on top-quality resources because they cannot pay for them? In terms of content, they are top quality, carefully planned and sequenced to help as many children as possible get started on the phonic road to reading. What is included? 1 PDF 16 pp X A5 Print as a booklet Flip on the short edge One 16-slide PowerPoint

This puzzle collection for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein transforms a timeless Gothic masterpiece into an interactive, hands-on experience. It's designed to bring the chilling story and its complex themes to life, one code at a time. This resource is more than a simple set of puzzles; it’s a tool for fostering both critical thinking and creativity. The collection features 21 cryptograms, each centered around a key quote from Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus . Unlike traditional linear puzzles, these are circular designs with two bands of symbols woven around intricate Celtic knotwork. Students must use logical reasoning and pattern recognition to decode the messages. The puzzles are also a creative outlet. Once the code is broken, students can color the detailed Celtic knotwork, turning their solved puzzle into a personalized art piece. This blend of analytical and creative work appeals to a wide range of learning styles and makes the challenging themes of the novel more memorable. This collection is a powerful supplement for your literature curriculum. It encourages students to engage directly with the source material by deciphering genuine quotes from both Victor Frankenstein and his creation. The puzzles help develop advanced problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of cryptography. The included literary guide provides a synopsis and context for each quote, allowing students to explore the novel's core themes of creation, responsibility, and social isolation . They can analyze the complex relationship between creator and creation and delve into discussions on science, ethics, and humanity

My specific recommended age range is pre-k through 5th grade, though special education students of all ages will benefit as well.

Pre-readers will be able to participate by coloring the pages and can be guided by the teacher who can read the sentences and ask the questions verbally while the pre-reader is coloring the images on each page. Students who are reading and writing, or learning to read and write, will get further practice in developing their reading and writing skills. Students who are able will also be required to research the life of Saint Valentine. Students will learn about multiple historical Valentine persons, including one female. Students will not only develop research skills, but critical thinking skills as well, because many of the questions require them to think outside the box. Included in this activities pack: Challenging Crossword Puzzle with answer key included Not too easy Word Search with answer key included. 10 Coloring Pages, each with a question that can be answered verbally or in writing.

High School 2025 October ELA Bell Ringers
ELA, Literature, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, Holiday & Seasonal, Holidays, Halloween, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests
You know what's frustrating? Trying to find good October activities that don't turn into fluff just because they're Halloween-themed. I have been homeschooling my daughter for over 4 years now, and every fall I would spend hours looking for something that would actually challenge her ninth-grade brain while still being fun. Most of what I found was either too babyish or completely disconnected from what she actually needed to learn. So last year, I finally got fed up and starting making my own. These 23 bell ringers have become our go-to for October mornings—they are quick (5-10 minutes), they get her thinking, and honestly? She doesn't even realize how much serious ELA work she iw doing because she iw too busy getting into the spooky mood. We are talking real Gothic literature, vocabulary that will help her writing techniques she will need in college—but wrapped up in themes that make her actually want to do the work. The best part - watching her face when she connects something from Edgar Allan Poe to a modern horror movie, or when she uses a new vocabulary word in regular conversation without even thinking about it. That is when you know the learning is really sticking. I have tweaked these activities based on what worked (and what did not) with my own kid, so they hit that sweet spot of being challenging without being overwhelming. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: NO-PREP, time-saver; ready-to-use resource 23 comprehensive bell ringer activities organized into themed weekly units Printable format with clean, student/homeschoolers-friendly layout requiring minimal preparation Enhanced AP-level prompts featuring advanced literary analysis and rhetorical techniques TOPICS INCLUDED: Gothic literature analysis featuring Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving Advanced grammar concepts including subject-verb agreement and misplaced modifiers Creative writing with focus on unreliable narrators and dramatic irony Sophisticated vocabulary development with etymology and historical context I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to constantly create engaging content while juggling everything else that comes with homeschooling—some days I barely have time to prep dinner, let alone design elaborate lesson plans! That is exactly why I created these October bell ringers with busy homeschool families in mind: no additional materials to hunt down, no complicated setup that eats into your morning, just print-and-go content that actually works. I have been using variations of these activities with my own daughter for years, and I can tell you that she genuinely looks forward to her daily warm-ups now (which, let's be honest, is a homeschool mom victory right there!). What I love most is watching her tackle increasingly sophisticated analysis without even realizing how much her thinking skills are developing—she is building the kind of critical reasoning that will serve her well in college while having fun with spooky themes. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina – Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

As a fellow homeschool mom to a 9th grader, I know writing assignments need to feel meaningful — which is exactly why I created A Season to Write: Holiday Reflection Prompts Bundle .

This A Season to Write: Holiday Reflection Prompts Bundle is a rich mix of creative, reflective, and analytical writing, encouraging students/homeschoolers to explore not just what happens during a holiday, but what it truly means to them by reflecting on memory, culture, and sensory experiences. I have designed it to balance structure with freedom, ensuring your student/homeschooler learns to write with both their intellect and emotion, developing clarity, organization, and—most importantly—their own authentic voice. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: 50 engaging, multi-genre holiday writing prompts Comprehensive note-taking & brainstorming sheets. Full writing rubric for simple grading and growth tracking.
