Phonemic Awareness Activity

This phonemic awareness activity includes 25 pages with 12 phonemic awareness activities on each page. I use these lists (one page per week, all year) as an all-class activity. Each page explicitly tells you, the teacher, what to say to the class, and what you should hear back from the whole class at the same time, if they are responding correctly. Practice skills included are: initial, medial, and final sounds, blending, and segmenting. If someone makes a mistake you can easily hear it and go over/explain the item to the class. I like to say my part, then snap two times for students to have think time. Then I place my hand palm up, as if to say GO AHEAD, in order to keep them in unison in their responses. Here is an example of one page- 1. First sound: I say- say, sit, sun They say- /s/ 2. First sound segmentation: I say- seed They say first sound, then the rest: /s/+eed 3. Final sound- I say- mat, bit, late They say: /t/ 4. Final sound segmentation: I say- pat They say the word, with last sound separate: /pa/+/t/ 5. Segmenting 3 sounds: I say- pig They say /p/ /i/ /g/ 6. Blending initial clusters: I say- /s/ top They say: stop 7. Segmenting 4 sounds. I say- flick They say: /f/ /l/ /i/ /k/ 8. Delete part of initial blend: I say- spin without the S They say: pin 9. Blend final clusters: I say- pass + /t/ They say: past 10. Delete part of final blend: I say- field without the D They say: feel 11. Delete second sound in initial blend: I say- skip without the k They say: sip 12.

DNA: Guided Reading Level N with Lesson Plan

DNA: Guided Reading Level N with Lesson Plan

This DNA (level n) guided reading book 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: DNA Genre: Nonfiction (informational science text) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: DNA as genetic instructions in living things Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best Explains DNA as a “secret code” that gives living things instructions to grow and function. Teaches where DNA is kept : DNA is in cells, and a nucleus holds DNA safely inside almost every cell. Describes DNA’s shape as a long, twisted ladder called a double helix , and connects the shape to holding genetic information. Introduces the idea of a genetic code made of four special chemicals whose order works like letters forming sentences the body can “read.” Builds understanding of similarities and differences in living things , including shared DNA across animals and small DNA differences that make individuals unique. Learning Goals Students can explain what the book says DNA does for living things (instructions to grow and function). Students can describe where DNA is found in the body (in cells, held in the nucleus). Students can describe the shape of DNA using details from the text (a long, twisted ladder/double helix). Students can explain how the book describes the genetic code (four chemicals acting like letters in an alphabet). Students can describe ways DNA relates to traits and differences (physical traits, unique codes, identical twins). Students can explain why DNA makes a copy before a cell divides (so new cells have the same instructions). Key Vocabulary From the Text molecule — a tiny thing that carries important information. microscope — a tool to see things too small to see. nucleus — a cell’s control center that holds DNA safely. helix — a twisted shape like a ladder. genetic — related to the body’s DNA code and information. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think a “secret code” inside living things might help them do? Comprehension questions: Where does the book say DNA is kept inside almost every cell? Comprehension questions: What does the book compare the shape of DNA to, and what do scientists call that shape? Comprehension questions: Why does the book say DNA makes an exact copy of itself before a cell divides? 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.
