OO: Decodable Reader and PowerPoint: Guided Reading: 2
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools

This OO decodable reading book can help children develop reading fluency. With a matching PowerPoint, is ideally suited to Guided Reading. It is part of a series of highly structured decodable reading books with controlled vocab; all vocab is decodable using phonic knowledge the child already has (if read in sequence) and true irregular sight words are only slowly and gradually introduced. Science of reading aligned. Based on the most up-to-date phonic research. This book is the next in our new series for budding historians who may be older pupils and may have special needs and need a more mature storyline than cats and dogs! It follows on from our previous sets of ' Learn to Read' packs covering the 5 vowels so the pupil is expected to be able to blend 3 and 4 sounds securely and be ready to read words with /ck/. It can be used as a stand-alone decodable reading book provided a child can blend CVC/CCVC/CVCC words and has learned the sound oo. These books are best read in sequence. This book contains words with the following sounds: ck. It can be used with the CK worksheets activity pack: https://teachsimple.com/product/Learn%20to%20Read:%20CK%20Reading%20Books%20+%20Activity%20Pack This series has been written with the aid of one of my pupils, aged 8. He writes his ideas and draws pictures and then I formulate them into a fool-proof reading book using only decodable words. Reading Made Simple for Special Needs A 100% systematic phonic reading programme for all ages and abilities. Give your child a Head start in reading! Due to its 100% systematic nature, this reading programme is highly suitable for any child with a special need, including dyslexia (or suspected), or any other need that is causing a child to have difficulties learning to read. What makes this reading programme different? · It has its own, easy-to-download and print phonic reading books, making it accessible to many children worldwide. · Each book carefully builds on the vocabulary of those that have gone before, providing much repetition, without relying on predictable text. · Pictures aid the storyline without encouraging reading from the pictures – i.e. guessing. · The vocabulary is based on phonic families, which are introduced in a carefully planned way. · True sight words – those that cannot be sounded out - are kept to the very minimum. Most words are introduced in their phonic family wherever possible. · It is truly multisensory, using the power of the hand. We not only look at the words, but we write them too. This is powerful and has the bonus of turning the child not only into a reader but into a writer as well. Typical signs that this programme can help: · Difficulty recalling words when seen on flashcards or when reading texts, which results in no or little reading fluency · b/d letter reversal of a chronic nature – i.e. the child has not grown out of it · Difficulty ordering letters in words: E.g. top becomes pot. · Difficulty differentiating between like words: spoon/soon; back/black; sheep/sleep etc… · Difficulty tracking words across a page To help all children succeed, each phonic family is taught in two lessons, each a week in duration. This speed has been tried and tested to be the optimum speed to allow children to absorb new information without mental overload. You may find that some children need longer - but never less. Each phonic family is split into half and only 5/6 words in a family are studied each week. Activities are provided to give the child plenty of exposure to the new sound and the set of words that contain it. These activities are not hard, but simply bring the child face to face with the words, first individually, then in sentences, and finally in longer passages. We also seek to strengthen knowledge of blends and develop phonemic awareness through the activities, much needed by these learners. In all, the way that Reading Made Simple has been designed reduces the burden on the working memory, making it easier for children to learn to read. Children relax as they meet familiar words again and again. They begin to say – sometimes for the first time, ‘I can read’. With this programme, you can help a non-reader today! How long are the books? The reading books are 12 pages long. Why are these books FREE when other people's books cost so much? Are they of lesser quality? They are free as I regard the ability to read as being a fundamental right of every living person. Why should some miss out on top-quality resources because they cannot pay for them? In terms of content, they are top quality, carefully planned and sequenced to help as many children as possible get started on the phonic road to reading. What is included? 1 PDF - 12 pages X A5 One 12-slide PowerPoint Print as a booklet Flip on the short edge

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Kindergarten

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Kindergarten
Reading, ELA, Kindergarten, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

Guided reading in Kindergarten involves tailored small group reading teaching. It certainly isn't the entire group. The small groups are formed according to the reading abilities of the students. It is very distinct and adaptable. Students are able to enter and exit groups as necessary. Every group utilizes leveled books chosen to cater to their specific requirements. Developing a guided reading lesson plan may appear overwhelming. Nevertheless, if you divide it into components concentrating on your students’ requirements, the methods you will demonstrate, and the text you will utilize, it becomes significantly easier to handle. Your lesson plans will encompass an objective outlining the strategies you'll teach, vocabulary work, an introduction to the book, the reading of the book, comprehension questions, and activities to follow the reading. If you prefer not to design your own, there are numerous lesson plan templates available for selection. This comprehensive guided reading ebook includes a complete lesson plan along with activities and recommended answers for your kindergarten students.

Reading, ELA, Grade 12, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

Guided reading allows teachers to monitor students while they read texts appropriate to their instructional reading levels. It typically includes these standard components: - Collaborating in small teams - Aligning student reading skills with text difficulty levels - Providing each individual in the group with identical text - Presenting the text - Hearing people read - Encouraging students to unify their reading strategies - Involving students in discussions regarding the text. The objective is to assist Grade 12 students in creating strategies for independent application. Work emphasizes processes essential for proficient reading, like cross-referencing print with meaning, instead of memorizing the definitions of words from a specific book. In guided reading, educators observe student reading behaviors and ensure that texts are accessible to them, enabling learners to combine their newly learned skills into a cohesive, integrated reading system. This ebook will assist you in practicing guided reading with your 12th-grade classes. It includes a complete lesson plan with activities and recommended answers that takes about 90 minutes.

Reading, ELA, Grade 5, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

Teaching guided reading in 5th grade is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching this grade. The standards and text levels are more rigorous than in primary grades, and the students are much more independent. The books they read are more engaging, making the teaching experience enjoyable. When actively in the classroom, use a flexible approach that promotes student choice and variety, paired with explicit instruction and engaging reading practice. Try to teach reading in a way that promotes discussion and enjoyment of reading. Focus on three key areas: 1. Learning to Read: Developing or growing skills to decode and comprehend grade-level texts. 2. Reading to Learn: Acquiring the skills needed to extract details and information from a text or story and synthesizing it. 3. Reading to Analyze: Building on reading to learn by focusing on specific skills and then being able to write about them. This ebook contains a detailed 90-minute lesson plan and activities for your Grade 5 students. Suggested answers are provided as well.

Guided Reading is a research-based instruction process whereby the teacher works with small grouping of students being equal in a particular reading achievement level. The teacher provides for each reader's development of effective reading competencies. However different than in the earlier days of reading groups, small and temporary groups are flexible and dynamic. The observance and evaluation of the progress of readers are done by teachers on a systematic basis. Thus, grouping and regrouping students is based on the strengths of students and the intense changing needs throughout their reading development. In the 1960s in New Zealand, Guided Reading was developed. It was enhanced over the years after it arrived in the United States thanks to educators like Gay Su Pinnell and Lesley Fountas. In 1996, Fountas & Pinnell published their enormously influential book, Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children (Heinemann). This book changed how reading was taught, and it is still taught today to over a million teachers worldwide. The aim of Guided Reading lessons is to develop effective readers. A set of 13 books is bundled together with all 13 worksheets of the Guided Reading series for grades KG-12. There are lesson plans and different activities for every grade, with the answers in the end section of the worksheet.

Reading, ELA, Grade 7, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools

Seventh graders can concentrate better on enhancing the skills they started to cultivate in 6th grade without the extra pressure of adapting to the new middle school setting. By 7th grade, it is anticipated that students have adjusted to middle school life and are thus expected to operate more autonomously while managing their time and schedules with diminished (but still some) support. Typically, in 7th grade, students expand upon the abilities they acquired in 6th grade by engaging with more intricate and lengthy texts and essays in both writing and reading. This effort will equip them for 8th grade, where they will solidify and enhance their skills, ultimately positioning them for success in high school. In 7th grade, learners enhance their skills in analyzing the texts they read and supporting their analysis with evidence from the text. In particular, 7th grade students focus on scrutinizing texts more thoroughly and utilizing details from the text to formulate ideas, conduct analysis, and draw inferences. This ebook contains a comprehensive 90-minute lesson plan, featuring activities and suggested answers.

During their final year of middle school, 8th graders engage in preparing for high school by refining and enhancing skills acquired in previous middle school years, while also acquiring new (and frequently more challenging) abilities. In numerous ways, 8th grade serves as a transitional year since students are anticipated to have mastered middle school skills and start evolving into “high-schoolers.” In particular, 8th graders are anticipated to be self-sufficient thinkers and doers, evaluating and articulating what they understand in both their written and spoken communication. In the 8th grade, students further develop various skills acquired in previous grades, particularly focusing on aspects such as text evidence, language, and comparisons across different genres of text. Nonetheless, 8th graders deepen their text analyses by exploring the details and writing structures while evaluating how these aspects influence the text. This ebook contains an in-depth guided reading lesson plan complete with activities, which takes around 90 minutes to complete. Proposed responses are also included.

In their first year of middle school, 6th graders embark on a new phase in their education, facing fresh challenges and changes. In many ways, 6th grade marks an important transition for students, as they apply the skills they have learned before to engage in more complex and self-guided learning in deeper and more demanding ways. While collaboration continues to be an important element of the curriculum, students often need to produce more detailed independent assignments, especially in writing. This requires improved independence and organizational skills, and it will probably necessitate some adjustment and practice at the beginning of the school year. The main goal of the 6th grade reading curriculum is to have students interact with increasingly difficult texts over the year, preparing them for high school, advanced studies, and future professions. Students examine a variety of texts and different genres, including fiction, drama, poetry, and non-fiction. This ebook offers a detailed lesson plan for guided reading along with activities tailored for your sixth-grade classes. Suggested replies are also provided.

Each child acquires reading skills in a unique manner and at their own pace, but you can assist in establishing a solid base through thoughtful, intentional teaching. Guided reading is a teaching method that includes small groups of 4-6 students collaborating with an instructor, concentrating on their specific reading skills and requirements. The small-group environment allows the teacher to monitor and customize teaching for every student. Years of studies indicate that this tight-knit method is impactful and successful. A key benefit of guided reading is its capacity to offer individualized teaching. In a small-group environment, educators can recognize every student's reading proficiency, strengths, and areas for improvement. This tailored method enables teachers to focus on particular skills and strategies essential for every child's growth. This comprehensive lesson outline will assist you in practicing guided reading with your fourth-grade students. The session lasts around 90 minutes, and the responses are included as well.
