ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Language Development, Phonics, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Reading can be made easier with these phonic helps that repeatedly encourage students to practice these Ending Digraph sounds. Learning how to read can be the most challenging activity for many students and for a teacher. A digraph in the English language are two letters put together that represents a single sound or phoneme. Understanding that the combination of letters can make one sound can be difficult to master and requires repetitive practice of reading and writing these words with these sounds. This unit focuses only on the Ending Digraph sounds. There are other phonics units that I sell that focuses on the Beginning Digraph sounds, and one that focuses on all three digraph sounds in the Beginning, Middle and End. Activities include reading comprehension and identifying the digraphs in their reading, writing their answers to questions regarding the paragraph, identifying additional ending digraph words in sentences using a word bank, matching words with pictures, spinning a paperclip activity where students will write the word with the digraph sound, and lastly a fun wordsearch with the ending digraph words. These activities are for each digraph so there is plenty of opportunities for students to practice their comprehension reading skills and phonic sounds. Students will practice the following Ending Digraph sounds: ck, ng, sh, th, and nk. Teachers can use this resource in whole group, individually with students, students can practice with each other in centers, or they can be assigned as homework. Worksheets are also differentiated for each Ending Digraph sound for all young learners which makes it perfect for all 1st - 2nd graders. A total of 33 pages full of reading and phonic activities. Along with reading and writing, there are matching, cutting, and pasting activities. Word searches and spin and make a word activity are also a part of this packet which make learning to read these phonic sounds entertaining for young learners.

The Duck-billed Platypus PowerPoint with Activity and study guide is a great thematic unit study. The platypus is a unique egg-laying mammal with only the echidna as the only other mammalian egg layers. Endemic to Australia and Tasmania, the platypus lives in humble burrows on riverside, stream or creek banks. Their unusual appearance made their early discovery seem like a hoax. For example, specimens were sent to England, and people thought the animal had been stitched together from various parts of other animals. They have a bill like a duck, a body like an otter and tails like beavers. Their bill is an incredible instrument helping them locate their favorite freshwater invertebrate foods using electrolocation. Topics Covered in the PowerPoint Include the Duck-billed Platypus: Characteristics Etymology (platypus word meaning) Map of their geographic location Electrolocation Fur Male's poisonous heal spurs Skeleton Skull closeup Diet Homes Swimming History and Discovery Reproduction Nest and eggs Babies (called Puggles) What's Included in the Student Activity and Study Guide: PowerPoint review questions Quizlet and Internet Activities Blank journal template Quiz Student research Project templates What's Included in the Teacher Activity and Study Guide: Platypus guide canva editable link (student guide only) Platypus PowerPoint Questions Quizlet and Internet Activities Link Platypus Journal entry answer key Platypus Quiz answer key Student Research Project templates Student Project Scoring Rubric

As a homeschool parent, finding resources that are not bone-dry but still offer actual rigor is a massive headache. When my own daughter hit 9th grade, those "fun" nature studies we loved in middle school just stopped cutting it. She inquired about topics in science so I create this Forest Animals and Their Habitats Reading Passage resources. I took the time to upgrade this Forest Animals and Their Habitats Reading Passage resource from the middle school level to the high school level. I wanted to move past the basics and really dig into the "why" of ecology. It is not just a list of critters—it is an exploration of how forest systems actually stay in balance. I have worked hard to make this substantial enough for a high school credit, but engaging enough that your teen will not roll their eyes at the kitchen table. My goal? Less prep stress for you and better "big picture" conversations for them. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE Detailed reading passage focusing on forest ecology and complex habitats. A glossary terms with definitions that actually make sense. 10 Note-Taking Sheets designed to help students/homeschoolers synthesize what they’re reading. 20 critical thinking questions and a full answer key. TOPICS COVERED Breaking down the specific roles of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Looking at morphological and behavioral traits, including the science of hibernation. The vital impact of seed dispersal and nutrient cycling. Real talk about anthropogenic threats and our role in stewardship. I totally get the juggling act. I love to create resources that are interest-based for my daughter in our homeschool. This Forest Animals and Their Habitats Reading Passage resource is designed to flex with your family’s rhythm. I made sure to lean into themes of stewardship and respect here. To me, homeschooling is about more than just hitting high school requirements; it is about protecting that spark of curiosity while they learn to care for the world around them. This Forest Animals and Their Habitats Reading Passage unit was a game-changer for our 9th-grade year; I hope it sparks some genuine "aha!" moments in your home, too.

Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts.

Builds understanding of how word choice and definitions matter when discussing systems and government roles (counties vs. state/federal). Learning Goals Describe what a jail is and give two reasons people may be held there. Explain how early jails in England were used and what “gaol” means in the passage.

Lesson Snapshot Title: Useful Robots Genre: Nonfiction (Informational passage) Subject: Science & Technology (Engineering/Robotics) Primary Topic: How robots developed and help people Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P Support pages included: Pre-reading trivia, mixed questions, vocabulary activities, creative writing prompt, extension activities, and an answer key. QA notes on support pages: Support content generally matches the passage; however, the support pages use “automaton” (singular) while the passage uses “automata” (plural), and an extension prompt suggests “hills,” which is not stated in the passage (the passage names rocks and dust). What This Lesson Teaches Best Robots have a history: Explains that long ago people created “automata” that moved using steam, air, water, or falling weights. Modern robots and factory work: Describes an early industrial robot, Unimate, working in 1961 at a General Motors plant handling hot metal parts that were tough and dangerous for people. How robots learn repeatable motions: Shows how a person can guide a robot’s movements while sensors send signals to a computer that stores a pattern to repeat the job. Robots go where people can’t: Highlights the rover Opportunity exploring Mars for years (2004–2018) and sending back clues from rocks and dust. Big idea across time: Connects early moving devices to today’s robots as tools that learned to move, repeat, and help humans discover more. Learning Goals Students will explain what “automata” were and what powered them. Students will describe why Unimate’s factory job mattered for people. Students will identify how a robot can be “taught” motions and then repeat them. Students will summarize how robots can help in places that are risky, far away, or hard to reach. Students will use details from the text to tell what Opportunity did on Mars and what it sent back. Key Vocabulary From the Text automata — moving devices from long ago; not thinking machines. program — give a machine instructions to do a job. industrial — related to factories and making things. sensors — parts that notice and send signals to a computer. rover — a robot vehicle that travels to explore places.
