This Guided Reading Book - The Story of the Wheel (Level H) 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: The Story of the Wheel Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Science (Engineering / Simple Machines) Primary Topic: How wheels changed over time and how they work Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best What wheels are and what they help people do: move heavy things with less effort. How wheels changed over time (from heavy stone/wood wheels to spoked wheels to modern rubber tires). Why different wheels are designed differently for different jobs (tractor treads for mud; thin bicycle wheels for speed; small wheels for gliding). That not all wheels are for travel—gears are wheels with teeth that help machines move. Learning Goals Students will explain what wheels are used for using a detail from the text. Students will describe how the first wheels were made long ago, according to the book. Students will explain why spoked wheels helped carts move faster using the book’s comparison. Students will describe how treads help tractor wheels move through thick, wet mud. Students will identify one way gears are different from travel wheels and tell what gears do in machines. Key Vocabulary From the Text spokes — thin parts connecting the center to the outside. oxen — strong animals that pull heavy loads. rubber — stretchy material used to make tires. treads — deep grooves that help a tire grip ground. gears — wheels with teeth that help machines move. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How do you think wheels help people move things more easily? Comprehension questions: What does the book say wheels are used for? What were the very first wheels made from long ago? What are gears, and what do they help machines do? Printing Tips 1.

Lesson Plan on Plant Life Cycle for Kindergarten
Biology, Life Sciences, Science, Nature & Plants, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables, Activities
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.

Bunny Burrow | Rabbit Activity
Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities
A beautiful nature journaling set for children. Youngsters can combine pre-painted hand-illustrated characters (rabbits, hares, woodpeckers, and spring flowers) with the stunningly illustrated background scene. The scene has plenty of space for children to add their own drawings and writing to create wonderful journal pages to treasure. This set ideally lends itself to the study of animals in spring as well as life cycles, record observations in nature around you, or combine with study from books and objects. The sheet of illustrations makes ideal additions to spring displays. To create a tactile finished item I highly recommend printing onto high-quality paper, I like to use watercolor paper as this also allows the children to add their own paintings to the pages they create and means that every piece looks and feels like an original painting.

This Guided Reading Book - Dens, Nests and Burrows (Level D) 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: Dens, Nests and Burrows Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Science Primary Topic: Animal homes: nests, burrows, dens, lodges Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): D What This Book Teaches Best Animals live in different kinds of homes to stay safe, rest, and stay hidden from weather or danger. Bird nests: what they’re made of and why many are built high in trees (to keep eggs safe from animals on the ground). Burrows and tunnels: animals dig in the ground for cool, dark places to sleep, and some burrows can be large with special rooms. Dens: a den is described as a hidden shelter, including where some animals find dens and why they use them. How animal homes can also be built in water (beaver lodges) and how an underwater entrance helps keep a family safe. Learning Goals Students will explain how an animal home helps an animal (safe from weather, resting, staying hidden) using details from the text. Students will identify and describe three kinds of animal homes named in the book (nests, burrows, dens, lodges). Students will describe why some nests are built high in trees based on the text. Students will describe what a burrow is and why animals dig burrows, using the book’s wording. Students will tell what a den is according to the book and give one place an animal might find a den. Students will describe one feature of a beaver lodge that helps keep the family safe. Key Vocabulary From the Text burrow — a hole or tunnel in the ground. tunnel — a long passage under something. den — a hidden shelter for an animal. lodges — homes beavers build from sticks and mud. dreys — squirrel nests made with leaves and twigs. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: Where do you think animals might live to stay safe and hidden? Comprehension questions: What does a home help an animal do? What is a burrow? Where is the entrance to a beaver lodge? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this.

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 .
