This Guided Reading Book - Tallest Giant Giraffes (Level K) 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: The Tallest Giant: Giraffes Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science + Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Giraffe body parts and survival traits Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): K What This Book Teaches Best Giraffes are the tallest land animals and live in the warm, sunny savanna in Africa. A giraffe’s long neck helps it reach “juicy green leaves” on tall trees that other animals cannot touch. Giraffes use a long, strong, dark tongue to wrap around branches and pull off leaves, even with sharp thorns. Each giraffe has a unique pattern of spots; no two have the exact same shapes or colors on their fur. The text highlights survival behaviors and features (drinking stance, short standing naps for safety, fast running, and newborn calf size). Learning Goals Students will describe where giraffes live using details from the text. Students will explain how a giraffe’s long neck helps it get food. Students will describe how a giraffe uses its tongue to pull off leaves, even when there are thorns. Students will explain what is unique about each giraffe’s spots. Students will describe what a giraffe must do to drink water and why it is hard to reach the ground. Students will identify two facts about how giraffes stay safe or move (short naps standing up; running up to thirty-five miles per hour; traveling long distances). Key Vocabulary From the Text savanna — a warm, sunny place with grass and tall trees. juicy — full of liquid; wet and tasty. thorns — sharp points on a plant that can poke you. unique — one of a kind; not the same as others. ossicones — small, fuzzy horns on top of a giraffe’s head. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What body parts might help a giraffe get food and stay safe? Comprehension questions: How does a giraffe’s long neck help it reach food that other animals cannot touch? Comprehension questions: What does the book say a giraffe must do to drink water? Comprehension questions: What is special about each giraffe’s pattern of spots? 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.

Middle School Math Stations or Centers: Large and Small Place Value
Math, Decimals, Place Value, Grade 5, 6, 7, Centers, Activities
This ready-to-print set of 5 stations or math centres will supplement a middle school geometry unit about place value: including numbers from the hundred millions to the millionths. I have included lots of real-life examples such as populations of countries around the world and actual Olympic luge results that are measured to the thousandth of a second. Math stations are an excellent way to get students engaged as they move about the room and work cooperatively with their peers. Even when students are in intermediate grades, they benefit from a variety of teaching strategies including the use of stations to make math class more interactive. Station 1: Students can work collaboratively to solve four word problems about place value. (optional: set out white boards for students to use) Station 2: Students explore decimal place value to the millionths with a random number generating dice game. (supplies needed: 2-sided counter or coin AND a 10-sided die to generate numbers) Station 3: Students explore the populations of countries to practice place value skills such as rounding, expanded form, and comparing large numbers. (supplies needed: access to the internet to find the populations) Station 4: Students compare real times (measured to the thousandths) from the men’s luge at the 2018 Winter Olympics. They identify and compare different decimal place values. Station 5: Students explain their mathematical thinking in words and pictures to answer a math journal prompt. (supplies needed: tablets or computers for online game extension) ***Answer Key Included*** Grades to Use With: These stations are designed for middle grades students (grades 5-7) or high school special education classrooms. If you enjoy these math stations, check out the others in my store for your middle school math class: Factors and Multiples Percent, Decimals.
