This Ferris wheels reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. 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. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Ferris Wheels Genre: Nonfiction (Informational Text) Subject: Social Studies (History) / Science & Technology / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Origins, design, and purpose of Ferris wheels Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the origin story of the first Ferris wheel at the 1893 Chicago world’s fair and why people wanted a daring new attraction. Uses clear facts and measurements (about 264 feet/80 meters , 36 cars , ride cost and time) to build informational reading skills. Shows how Ferris wheels spread to new places and why they’re also called “observation wheels” (because looking is part of the fun). Compares past and present Ferris wheels, including modern wheels built for slow sightseeing like the London Eye with enclosed capsules. Highlights how modern wheels rely on strong steel, careful testing, and steady motors for smooth turns. Learning Goals Students will describe why the 1893 world’s fair crowd wanted something “brand-new” to see. Students will identify key details about the first Ferris wheel (height, number of cars, ride time, and cost). Students will explain why Ferris wheels are also called “observation wheels” using evidence from the text. Students will describe how Ferris wheels spread to other places after Chicago, including the example in Vienna. Students will compare how some Ferris wheels are designed for thrills versus slow sightseeing today. Key Vocabulary From the Text Exposition — a huge fair where inventions and exhibits are shown. engineer — a person who designs and builds things. fairgrounds — the area where a fair is held. capsules — closed pods that carry riders on a wheel. skyline — the outline of a city’s buildings against the sky.

Phonic Reading Scheme for Older Students: AR Words Books 17 and 18
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables, Lesson Plans
A pack of 2 AR Phonic reading books with matching PowerPoints and workbooks to support learning. These books are part of an incremental phonics reading scheme with a difference. Introducing just 10 words in each phonics family, the words are repeated from book to book, giving even those with very poor word recall the chance to learn to read fluently without having to decode every word. Ideal for dyslexics, or those suspected of being dyslexic and all children with a special need. You can view the first CK pack with a set of 30+ supporting activities and games FREE here. The books cover these sounds and must be taught in this order: CK; OO; SH; CH; ND/NT; NK; TH; NG; AR; Rationale: It has long been proven that teaching children to decode is a powerful tool for teaching reading, as opposed to the Look and Say method. However, this has led to a proliferation of reading books that throw as many words with a shared phonics sound into a book as possible, not realising that some children with very poor word recall find it hard to recognise words when they see them again without much repetition. To combat this problem, while we recognise that, technically, once a child has been taught a new sound s/he can sound out many words with that new sound, when it comes to reading fluently a child needs a core set of words in each family that they can recognise, which can act as a launch pad as they gain confidence. These books have been designed accordingly. For each sound family, just 10 words are studied with the help of the workbooks and are then repeated throughout the books, each book building on the vocabulary that has already been learned, repeating it and including it in new phrases as new sounds are learned. As the programme progresses, new sounds from the learned families are incorporated to widen vocabulary, while taking care to maintain fluency. The books are designed to limit guessing (though most children will try and guess, which must be avoided at all costs). Pluses of this phonics reading programme Easy to print Cheap to buy compared with expensive reading schemes They are just as effective as the best reading programmes out there, and more importantly, they have been tried and tested on real children with severe difficulties and proven to work if the child is taught as outlined. Aligned with the aims and objectives of LETRS and the Science of Reading. They work! My pupils tell me if they don't work, so I re-edit them and try them before I put them out for the general public. Introduces most high-frequency words in the phonics family to which they belong, and gradually introduces genuine, non-decodable sight words into the text without causing overload or throwing the child off course. What is included? Each book is 12 pages long Each book comes with a matching PowerPoint, making it suitable for online teaching, for private tutors, parents, classroom assistants, etc... The AR books come with 40 matching worksheets

Teaches a short history of flashlights , including the “dry cell” battery and an 1899 U.S. patent for a hand-held electric light.

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.

High School Famous People in History Reading Passage and Q & A
ELA, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
You know that moment when your teenager gives you that look after you hand them another boring history book? My 9th grader practically perfected the eye-roll when it came to learning about "dead people from way back when" (her words, not mine!). I finally got fed up with watching her zone out during history time—these are not just random names and dates, these are the people who literally changed everything! After way too many late nights researching and writing (and lots of coffee), I put together these High School Famous People in History Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets that actually tell their stories in a way that makes sense to teenagers. The best part? My daughter actually started asking questions and voluntarily bringing up history during dinner conversation—when that happens, you know you've found something that works, and I'm hoping it'll do the same thing for your family's history studies. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: In-depth exploration of historical figures in history 20 thought-provoking questions about historical impact Detailed guided responses to help parents facilitate meaningful discussions 5 Note-Taking Sheets to help students organize information and develop analytical thinking skills TOPICS COVERED: Scientific and Mathematical Pioneers Literary and Artistic Luminaries Political Visionaries and Social Reformers Technological and Medical Breakthroughs Okay, so here's the deal—I spent forever putting together this High School Famous People in History Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets because I was tired of my kid thinking history was just a bunch of boring old stuff. These readings aren't fluff—they really dive into what made these people tick and how they managed to shake up the entire world. What I love is that the questions actually make kids think instead of just spitting back whatever they memorized five minutes ago, and the note-taking part keeps everything organized without making their brain hurt. My daughter went from literally groaning every time I mentioned history to actually telling her friends about some of the crazy things these historical figures did. Trust me, you are going to find yourself pulling this out over and over because there's always something new your kid will pick up on that they totally missed before. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom
