It is also part of the Reading Made Simple reading scheme. I created these phonic readers as I saw the huge need for highly structured, fun-to-read, early-reading books. They are very popular. I am an Early Years Specialist Teacher (B. Ed) who is currently tutoring children with profound special needs in reading and writing following over 30 years of teaching phonics. Main features: New vocabulary is repeated to aid fluency and build word recognition All the other words can be sounded out using the necessary phonic knowledge.

All beginner readers of any age and ability Struggling readers of all ages and abilities, including special needs pupils with severe dyslexia/other processing difficulties Teachers, parents, classroom assistants, private tutors - anyone who needs them! Are these phonic reading books and workbooks aligned with the UK Gov requirements or LETRS? Yes - totally.

OO: Decodable Reader and PowerPoint: Guided Reading: 2
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools
This OO 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 so the pupil is expected to be able to blend 3 and 4 sounds securely and be ready to read words with /ck/. 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. This book contains words with the following sounds: ck. It can be used with the CK worksheets activity pack: https://teachsimple.com/product/Learn%20to%20Read:%20CK%20Reading%20Books%20+%20Activity%20Pack 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 - 12 pages X A5 One 12-slide PowerPoint Print as a booklet Flip on the short edge

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 3
Reading, ELA, Grade 3, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Once they have mastered literacy skills in earlier grades, 3rd graders develop into more proficient and self-reliant readers. Third grade reading emphasizes helping children learn to think and discuss their reading in more profound and detailed manners. Students engage with lengthier texts, and the majority read fictional chapter books. Numerous reading lessons for 3rd graders focus on discussing and writing about the meanings, lessons, and key concepts found in texts. Third graders are prompted to form their own opinions regarding the books they read and to talk about their thoughts on a text or the characters. Series books play a vital role in 3rd grade, as they enable students to link various books and discuss the development of specific characters. As third graders delve into a wider variety of books and extended texts, they enhance their reading fluency and acquire skills to read, define, and pronounce intricate words. This lesson plan will help you teach guided reading to your grade 3 students.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 8
Reading, ELA, Grade 8, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
During their final year of middle school, 8th graders engage in preparing for high school by refining and enhancing skills acquired in previous middle school years, while also acquiring new (and frequently more challenging) abilities. In numerous ways, 8th grade serves as a transitional year since students are anticipated to have mastered middle school skills and start evolving into “high-schoolers.” In particular, 8th graders are anticipated to be self-sufficient thinkers and doers, evaluating and articulating what they understand in both their written and spoken communication. In the 8th grade, students further develop various skills acquired in previous grades, particularly focusing on aspects such as text evidence, language, and comparisons across different genres of text. Nonetheless, 8th graders deepen their text analyses by exploring the details and writing structures while evaluating how these aspects influence the text. This ebook contains an in-depth guided reading lesson plan complete with activities, which takes around 90 minutes to complete. Proposed responses are also included.

A few words on guided reading Guided reading involves small-group instruction where a teacher aids each reader in developing strategies for effectively processing new texts that progressively increase in difficulty. In guided reading, students in a small group read a text chosen by you that matches their instructional reading level. You deliver instruction throughout the lesson to help students develop their mental frameworks of strategies for handling progressively difficult texts. Through guided reading, learners discover how to participate in each aspect of the reading process and utilize that literacy skill across all teaching situations. This ebook offers a complete guided reading lesson plan for first-grade students. It is inspired by the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr., though any other picture book may also be utilized. The length of the lesson is around 30 minutes, though it may change based on class size.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 7
Reading, ELA, Grade 7, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Seventh graders can concentrate better on enhancing the skills they started to cultivate in 6th grade without the extra pressure of adapting to the new middle school setting. By 7th grade, it is anticipated that students have adjusted to middle school life and are thus expected to operate more autonomously while managing their time and schedules with diminished (but still some) support. Typically, in 7th grade, students expand upon the abilities they acquired in 6th grade by engaging with more intricate and lengthy texts and essays in both writing and reading. This effort will equip them for 8th grade, where they will solidify and enhance their skills, ultimately positioning them for success in high school. In 7th grade, learners enhance their skills in analyzing the texts they read and supporting their analysis with evidence from the text. In particular, 7th grade students focus on scrutinizing texts more thoroughly and utilizing details from the text to formulate ideas, conduct analysis, and draw inferences. This ebook contains a comprehensive 90-minute lesson plan, featuring activities and suggested answers.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 5
Reading, ELA, Grade 5, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Teaching guided reading in 5th grade is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching this grade. The standards and text levels are more rigorous than in primary grades, and the students are much more independent. The books they read are more engaging, making the teaching experience enjoyable. When actively in the classroom, use a flexible approach that promotes student choice and variety, paired with explicit instruction and engaging reading practice. Try to teach reading in a way that promotes discussion and enjoyment of reading. Focus on three key areas: 1. Learning to Read: Developing or growing skills to decode and comprehend grade-level texts. 2. Reading to Learn: Acquiring the skills needed to extract details and information from a text or story and synthesizing it. 3. Reading to Analyze: Building on reading to learn by focusing on specific skills and then being able to write about them.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 12
Reading, ELA, Grade 12, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Guided reading allows teachers to monitor students while they read texts appropriate to their instructional reading levels. It typically includes these standard components: - Collaborating in small teams - Aligning student reading skills with text difficulty levels - Providing each individual in the group with identical text - Presenting the text - Hearing people read - Encouraging students to unify their reading strategies - Involving students in discussions regarding the text. The objective is to assist Grade 12 students in creating strategies for independent application. Work emphasizes processes essential for proficient reading, like cross-referencing print with meaning, instead of memorizing the definitions of words from a specific book. In guided reading, educators observe student reading behaviors and ensure that texts are accessible to them, enabling learners to combine their newly learned skills into a cohesive, integrated reading system. This ebook will assist you in practicing guided reading with your 12th-grade classes. It includes a complete lesson plan with activities and recommended answers that takes about 90 minutes.
