This Guided Reading Book - Shanghai (Level M) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: World Cities: Shanghai Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Social Studies (Geography) Primary Topic: Shanghai’s location, waterways, and key city features Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): M What This Book Teaches Best Explains where Shanghai is located and why its place near the Yangtze River Delta and the East China Sea matters.

Compares two parts of the city along the river—Pudong’s modern skyline and Puxi’s historic area, including the Bund. Connects landforms to city development by explaining Shanghai’s flat, alluvial plain and limited land. Highlights how waterways and islands shape life and trade, including Suzhou Creek, Chongming Island habitats, and a deep-water port for global shipping. Learning Goals Identify Shanghai’s location on the eastern coast of China using details from the text. Explain why the Huangpu River is important for ships, based on the book’s description. Describe how Pudong and Puxi are different, using evidence from the text. Describe Shanghai’s landform (an alluvial plain) and tell what that means for mountains or hills in the main city area.

Key Vocabulary From the Text vital — very important. waterway — a river or channel ships can travel on. district — a part of a city. alluvial — made from soil rivers leave behind over time. tributary — a smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What places in a city might be built near water, and why? Comprehension questions: Where does the text say Shanghai is located? Comprehension questions: What does the text say makes the Huangpu River important for large ships? Comprehension questions: What details does the book give about Shanghai’s climate and seasons? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages .

I Have, Who Has Numbers 1–50 – Math Game

Hello! Thank you very much for being here in my virtual resource store called EDITORIAL ARENAS EDUCATIVAS. 1. WHO ARE WE? EDITORIAL ARENAS EDUCATIVAS is an educational corporation that is dedicated to the development and creation of fabulous materials and/or digital resources that will help energize or make more interesting the education of thousands of children from 6 to 12 years old. We are exclusively dedicated to the development of digital materials for the areas of reading, writing, language and mathematics for young children. We do everything from the heart because we believe that children deserve to go to school to learn as happily as possible. 2. WHY SHOULD TEACHERS USE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS? It has already been demonstrated in multiple investigations by psychologists and psychopedagogues that children learn better through playing and with physical materials than through old traditional methods. As is known, the old traditional method consists of making children simply repeat the knowledge without even analyzing anything about it or having any type of active participation within it. That is why we urge teachers to change their mentality and start using teaching materials for children now. 3. DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PRODUCT: - Product name: "I have who has? the numbers from 1 to 50" - Number of pages: This document contains 13 fabulous colorful pages ready to be printed. On each page you will find 4 cards, which in total make 50 cards with numbers from 1 to 50. - How to play: You must cut out all the cards and distribute them among your students. Here it is important to emphasize that this group is preferably played in groups of 5 to 10 children. Then they will start with the number 1 or any other number. Then the child takes the card and says "Hey, pay attention, I have the number 5, and who has the number 23?" And so on until all the numbers from 1 to 50 are found. In this way, children will practice pronunciation as well as visual exercise and will be able to easily recognize the numbers from 1 to 50.
