Guided Reading Level E - Safe in a Storm
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Vocabulary, Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Physics, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - Safe in a Storm (Level E) 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: Safe in a Storm Genre: Nonfiction (informational safety) Subject: Science / Health & Safety Primary Topic: Staying safe before, during, after storms Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): E What This Book Teaches Best Recognizing signs that a storm is near (dark clouds, wind, lightning, thunder). Knowing the safest place to be when thunder roars (inside a sturdy building). Following indoor safety steps during storms (stay away from windows; sit in the middle of a room). Making safe choices when power goes out and after storms (use a flashlight; avoid floodwater; return outside when it is safe). Understanding storm-related dangers involving electricity and water (avoid plugged-in devices; stay away from water). Learning Goals Students will identify at least two signs that a storm is near using details from the text. Students will explain where the book says to be when thunder roars. Students will describe two ways to stay safe inside during a storm, based on the text. Students will explain why the book says to stay away from water during a storm. Students will retell safety steps from the book in order (before/during/after the storm). Key Vocabulary From the Text lightning — a bright flash in the sky. sturdy — strong and not easy to break. flashlight — a small light you can hold. electricity — power that runs lights and devices. floodwater — water covering land after heavy rain. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you do at home to stay safe when a storm is coming? Comprehension questions: What are two signs the book says can tell you a storm is near? Where does the book say is the best place to be when thunder roars? Why does the book say to stay away from water during a storm? 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.

Maze Series This maze series is designed for students in grades 2–5. Each set features a clear, kid-friendly theme with scene-based mazes that students first navigate, then complete by drawing a few target words from a simple word list. Pages come in varied styles and graduated difficulty, with an optional “color it in” step—and some themes invite quick calculations to match the task. These mazes are student-friendly, classroom-ready, and perfect for literacy warmups, seasonal units, fast-finisher bins, centers, sub plans, or home learning extensions. The playful, structured format builds problem-solving, attention to detail, and fine-motor control while reinforcing themed content in a motivating way.

Students navigate the maze, encountering branches and cul-de-sacs that build attention and planning. Most pages include a tiny follow-up box—students draw or label 2–3 target words from a small word box, add a quick count, or color in the scene—so the activity reinforces both content and skills in a highly engaging format. Each completed set includes: A themed maze page. A simple student instruction strip. An answer key showing the solved path for teacher support or self-checking Themes Included These mazes cover a wide range of fun, age-appropriate themes, including: Seasons & Holidays (e.g., Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s Day) Math-Lite Connections (e.g., quick counts, number words) Everyday Topics (e.g., Animals, Weather, School) Special Units (e.g., Health, Earth Day, Sports, Kindness) Each topic reflects students’ real-life experiences and interests while strengthening problem-solving, visual scanning, and fine-motor control in a playful, highly visual way. Easy extensions (optional): Time it: solve once in pencil, then try to beat the time in pen Retell the route using sequence words (first, next, then, finally) Count intersections or turns and graph the results Write a 1–2 sentence mini-story about the scene using the target words Design a tiny maze in the corner for a partner to solve Differentiation tips: Offer a finger-trace pass before pencils for emerging learners Highlight the borders of the correct region on first attempts Use thicker-line versions or simpler pages to build confidence Pair roles: “navigator” gives directions; “driver” traces the path For similar downloads and other frees, do check out Cored Group on TeachSimple.
