Introduces The Ending CK: Play Fun Games
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, Activities, Games
Play Fun Games To Introduce The Phonic Sound 'ck' (3 years +) Cut out the words and use the suggestions to make sentences with the child (children). Next, cut out the next set of words and sort them into sound sets by placing them into Top Cat's fat tummy. How To Use The Pre Reader Work Packs At Guinea Pig Education we believe children do not need to spend years learning reading skills; this innovative new scheme teaches children to read in just six months to a year. A non reader should start with our pre reading material. The Pre reader work packs use phonics or the sounds in words. The child can learn a series of phonic sounds, which give him or her a 'tool' to work out nearly 80% of words in the English language. The other 20% of words will be learnt by looking and saying the words. In these packs, the child (or group of children) will be taught to recognise initial sounds as in 'b', 'd' and vowel sounds as in 'a' - c...a...t. They will practise running sounds together to make words. The sentence maker will help him or her to organise the words into sentences. The packs are easy to use with clear instructions, for the adult to use with a child (or group of children). The structured material encourages the child to practise word building and sentence making using phonic sounds. To make learning a really fun experience, the material contains word games , like snap and bingo. The child (children) can move on when the adult is confident the sounds have been learnt. Learn To Read With Phonics Pre Reader packs are designed to start children reading who have not done any reading before. They are a starting point for learning to read with phonics. Children can start at three or four, if they are ready to concentrate. The Pre Reader packs introduce the 26 sounds of the alphabet, the skills of sounding out words with phonics and blending phonic sounds to make three and four letter words. The child (children) should practise the material each day and move on only when the child is familiar with the material. The course is structured. Each new sound builds on the one that went before. Tell the child (children) to personalise the drawings, adding to them, using their own ideas. Play the games . Repeat the exercises many times until they know the words. They should have fun learning to read.

Gravity keeps objects on Earth’s surface—without it, things would float away. Gravity keeps the air close to Earth, forming the atmosphere that living things need to breathe. Gravity works in space too: Earth’s pull keeps the Moon in an orbit, and the Moon’s gravity affects ocean tides. Mass and gravity connect: more mass means a stronger gravitational pull, and weight measures gravity’s pull. Learning Goals Explain what gravity is and what it does to objects on Earth. Describe what happens when an object is dropped, according to the text. Tell how gravity helps keep objects (and air) close to Earth. Describe how Earth’s gravity affects the Moon’s orbit. Explain how the Moon’s gravity is connected to tides along the coast. Use the text to explain how mass relates to gravitational pull. Key Vocabulary From the Text gravity — a force that pulls things toward Earth. atmosphere — the thick layer of air around Earth. orbit — the path something takes around a planet. mass — how much matter is inside an object. tides — ocean water rising and falling along the coast.

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: Clouds You Can Spot Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Earth Science (Weather) / Early Literacy Primary Topic: Observing clouds using simple describing words Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): B What This Book Teaches Best Builds early nonfiction observation language by naming what you can see in the sky (sun, clouds, sky). Teaches describing words (adjectives) for clouds: big/small, white/grey, high/low, and “rain clouds.” Supports patterned reading and fluency through repeated sentence structure: “See the ____.” Encourages compare/contrast thinking using paired opposites (big vs. small; high vs. low; white vs. grey). Learning Goals Students will identify things the book says you can see (sun, clouds, sky). Students will describe clouds using words from the text (big, small, white, grey, high, low, rain). Students will retell the book’s sequence using the repeated pattern “See the ____.” Students will compare two cloud descriptions from the book (such as high/low or big/small). Students will answer simple questions about what the book tells the reader to see. Key Vocabulary From the Text clouds — white or grey puffs you see in the sky grey — a color between white and black high — up far above you low — down close to the ground rain — water that falls from clouds Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think you might see when you look up at the sky? Comprehension questions: What is the first thing the book says to see? Comprehension questions: What are two different kinds of clouds the book tells you to see? Comprehension questions: What is the last thing the book says to see? 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 . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

With a playful, participatory approach, this captivating Kindergarten lesson plan teaches young students about the plant life cycle. The 90-minute lesson, which is based around the instructive movie "Plant Life Cycle," walks students through the four main phases of plant growth: seed, sprout, seedling, and flower. Children will investigate how plants grow and what they require—sunlight, water, soil, and air—through a combination of pictures, storytelling, hands-on activities, and movement. A dynamic group conversation, a video watching with narrated explanations, and a straightforward tale reenactment to aid understanding are all included in the session. After that, students will finish a vibrant worksheet that includes matching, coloring, sequencing, and drawing exercises. The idea of development and renewal is reinforced through a unique craft project that uses paper plates to help kids picture the plant life cycle in a circular fashion. By the end of the lesson, children will be able to identify and describe each stage in the plant life cycle. The included worksheet and answer key support independent learning and review. This lesson promotes curiosity, fine motor skills, and a love of nature in young learners.
