Learn to Read: Lesson 6: CK
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
This is a set of 2, short vowel /ck/, decodable phonic reading books, with supporting activity packs to help struggling readers develop reading fluency. Each lesson focuses on just ten decodable CK words and introduces the odd words: be, me, she and he. What is included: This is a pack of 2 lessons (3 books, 2 games, 2 packs of worksheets) - 2 for each vowel sound: a total time of 2 weeks of phonics instruction. This CK pack of worksheets and reading books is part of the Reading Made Simple Special Needs programme and follows straight after the 'Learn to Read Five Vowels Packs. https://teachsimple.com/product/decodable-reading-books-activity-packs-short-vowels For best effect, the lessons should be taught in order. 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. It is written to help children process differences between commonly confused words The author anticipates the common pitfalls of learning phonics and helps to ease the pupils over the difficulties. 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! Activities include: Reading fluency triangles Word Level: reading and spelling CK words Sentence Level; reading and spelling sentences, including previously taught sounds and /ck/ words. Reading books to practice reading with short stories. Games Spelling activities/other reading activities Activities to develop relevant phonemic awareness Activities to help ease children over the areas most struggle with. What is included: Full teaching instructions Flashcards 2 packs of activities and worksheets 3 reading books 2 games Full teaching instructions What next? Once completed, students should move straight on to the /oo/ Decodable Reading Books and Activity Pack.

The Mayflower Compact: Reading and Analyzing a Primary Source Document
ELA, Social Studies, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Strategies, History, History: USA, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
The Mayflower Compact- Analyzing a Primary Source Document , is a 27 page standards aligned resource that provides your 6th-9th grade students with strategies for reading, understanding, and analyzing a challenging primary source document . Our students need help developing the skills to read complex materials, especially primary source historical documents. Students need practice on how to read a primary source document, and reading it once isn’t enough. Your students will participate in a close read of the primary source document four times: 1. for context and origins (source the document); 2. for meaning; 3. for the purpose (argument or thesis) of the document; and 4. read like a historian. Students will collaborate in deep discussions developing their critical thinking skills as they delve into their reading and analysis of the Mayflower Compact. Through this experience, they will find that their discussions become richer as they work through the questions provided for each of the 4 Reads. The follow up to the lesson, the multiple choice and short answer questions will offer students an opportunity to showcase what they learned. This lesson can take 2 50-minute periods to complete. However, if we want our students to feel confident enough to tackle primary source documents written in the past in unfamiliar English, we need to give them the tools to do so. Even so, I have provided an annotated version of the Mayflower Compact to help your English Language Learners, students on IEPs and 504 Plans, and struggling readers. The Mayflower Compact- Analyzing a Primary Source Document includes the following: History and Reading for History Standards, Objectives, and Learning Targets Essential Question: How do founding documents like the Mayflower Compact shape the principles and practices of governance in societies? 3 Guiding Questions: "What were the key motivations behind the drafting and signing of the Mayflower Compact?"; "How does the language and structure of the Mayflower Compact reflect the religious and political beliefs of the Pilgrims?"; and "What principles of governance are outlined in the Mayflower Compact, and how do they compare with other early democratic documents or principles?" Lesson 1: What are Primary and Secondary Sources Lesson Plan 2: Four Reads: Reading and Analyzing a Primary Source Document The Mayflower Compact in its original wording and in Plain English 4 Reads Questions and Answer Key Multiple choice and Short Answer Assessment and Answer Key

Ready to Read -ad Word Family Active Instruction Lesson 4
ELA, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Preschool, Grade 1, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Ready to Read – Word Family -ad Reading with Picture Reinforcement. Multi-Sensory Instruction with Letter and Sound Review, Auditory Drill, Blending Drill, Decodable Reading, Word Dictation, and a Phonemic Awareness Activity: Rhyme. Lesson 4 in a series. These lessons were created to use with whole group blended learning (virtual and in-person students) for kindergarten and beginning First Grade. They were so successful that once all students returned to in-person instruction, I continued using them. All students can easily see the Smartboard, and it is so much easier than if I have to juggle letter cards, books, and different materials. I can easily save different versions of the presentation, and edit each one to fit the needs of various students for additional work with a tutor or in small group. It also works well with small groups, RTI, Resource, and SPED. These lessons build on each other , and last about 30 - 45 minutes depending on changes you make, the size of your group, and the pace. Of course, some students/classes go through quicker, some slower, so adapt as needed. Lesson 4 (-ad) has 177 slides. You will download a zip file that contains a PowerPoint Presentation , a note to read first, a file with extra slides if you need to change or add some slides, and a PDF that has a link to make a copy in Google Slides if you do not use PowerPoint. The slides start out with a quick attention-getter, followed by letter review - say letter, say sound, and keyword (" B, ball, /b/"). All letters are included in alphabetical order, however, I typically use only the ones my students need to work on and not in alphabetical order - especially in later lessons. Use as is, or delete or move slides around based on the needs of your class. IF you teach qu instead of q you can find that option in the file with extra slides - simply click slide 23, select "format background," select "picture or texture fill," and from the included file, select "qu option." This is followed by an auditory drill. IF you have letter tiles or magnetic letters, this is a great time to get those out. If not, just use the letter tiles on the SmartBoard without additional student material or have them air write the letters or write with crayons, pencil and paper, or simply say the letter. For this, there are letter tiles on the slide. The teacher says the sound of one of the letters. The students repeat the sound and then identify the letter. For example, teacher says /b/. Students repeat /b/ and then say B. If they have letter tiles or magnetic letters they can pull those, or point to them. Then we move to blending . Students say the sound of the letter the car is beneath. For example, On one slide, the car is beneath the letter h, so the students say /h/. Next slide, the car is beneath the letter a and the students make the short /a/ sound. Following slide, car beneath letter d, students say /d/. Finally the car "drives" beneath all three letters and the students read "had." This continues through multiple -ad word family words. Time to Read - this starts with reading the words we just blended. A picture of the word on the following slides reinforce the correct answer, and really help out some of the students who struggle more - they are able to put that picture reinforcement with the word which really helps many students. Sight Words . Slides for High Frequency Words, Red Words, and Trick Words are included in an additional file, so you can easily use the term that correlates with your preference or curriculum. Add any other words you are working on. I have a few basic ones, and what the students will need to read the next slides. Sentence Reading - a few very basic sentences. The presentations will build on each other, so students constantly review what they have learned and build on it. We then review rhyme - Thumbs up or down with rhyming pairs. Typically phonemic awareness activities are done prior to a lesson like this, but for the past couple of years, my students had so much trouble with rhyme, and when I put the rhyming activity after all the word family work, they are more successful than if I start with it. Of course, you can move the rhyme slides to the beginning of the presentation if you want to stick with traditional format. Finally, there is the Exit Ticket or Dictation - slides show pictures from earlier in the lesson plus one from a previous lesson (always reviewing). They will write each word on their paper (or if you have your letter tiles or magnetic letters you can easily use them). Written work is important, and it will help show progress, allow you to examine which students need help and hopefully see their misconceptions, and it helps you to give grades if required. Orton-Gillingham, IMSE, Wilson Reading System, and FUNdations curriculums influenced the way this is put together. If you have access to Hooked on Phonics Videos, they work well to plug into these lessons. They are quick little "brain brakes" of sorts, or sometimes attention getters, but always educational and catchy, and my students loved them.

These lessons build on each other, and will eventually last about 30 - 45 minutes depending on changes you make, the size of your group, and the pace. Of course, some students/classes go through quicker, some slower, so adapt as needed. These earlier lessons are quicker – Lesson 2 (-an) has 123 slides and you can actually click through it in about 5 minutes. But it takes longer when your students are learning what to do, and you must also factor in time for them to get paper and pencil and complete the 5-word dictation at the end of the lesson. So estimate a 30 minute block initially and modify and adapt as needed. You will download a zip file that contains a PowerPoint Presentation, a note to read first, a file with extra slides if you need to change or add some slides, and a PDF that has a link to make a copy in Google Slides if you do not use PowerPoint. The slides start out with a quick attention-getter, followed by letter review - say letter, say sound, and keyword (" B, ball, /b/"). All letters are included, however, I typically use only the ones my students need to work on and not in alphabetical order - especially in later lessons. You may want to do the first few lessons in alphabetical order and change future lessons to meet your needs as you see how this works for your class. This is followed by an auditory drill. IF you have letter tiles or magnetic letters, this is a great time to get those out. If not, just use the letter tiles on the SmartBoard without additional student material or have them air write the letters or write with crayons, pencil and paper, or simply say the letter. For this, there are letter tiles on the slide. The teacher says the sound of one of the letters. The students repeat the sound and then identify the letter. For example, teacher says /b/. Students repeat /b/ and then say B. If they have letter tiles or magnetic letters they can pull those, or point to them. A "New Concept" is taught - the "glued sound" of /an/. Then we are on to blending. Students say the sound of the letter the car is beneath. /f/ on one slide, /an/ on the next. Then the car "drives" beneath letters fan and the students will read "fan." This continues through multiple -an word family words. Time to Read - this starts with reading the words we just blended. A picture of the word on the following slides reinforce the correct answer, and really help out some of the students who struggle more - they are able to put that picture reinforcement with the word which really helps many students. Review Words - we review words from previous lessons, in this case, it is only the -at words from lesson 1. High Frequency Word Review. Slides for Red Words, Sight Words, and Trick Words are included in an additional file, so you can easily use the term that correlates with your preference or curriculum. Add any other words you are working on. I have a few basic ones, and what the students will need to read the next slides. Sentence Reading - a few very basic sentences. Especially here on this first lesson. The presentations will build on each other, so students constantly review what they have learned and build on it. We then review rhyme - Thumbs up or down with rhyming pairs. Typically phonemic awareness activities are done prior to a lesson like this, but for the past couple of years, my students had so much trouble with rhyme, and when I put the rhyming activity after all the word family work, they are more successful than if I start with it. Of course, you can move the rhyme slides to the beginning of the presentation if you want to stick with traditional format. Finally, there is the Exit Ticket or Dictation - slides show pictures from earlier in the lesson and one from the prior lesson - in this presentation, there is a man, can, pan, van, and a mat. They will write each word on their paper (or if you have your letter tiles or magnetic letters you can easily use them). Written work is important, and it will help show progress, allow you to examine which students need help and hopefully see their misconceptions, and it helps you to give grades if required.

Alphabet Theatre | Letter of the Week Unit Companion
ELA, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Kindergarten, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Enjoy an adorable theatre experience with your students learning letters. This is a unique and creative way to catch their attention and practice letter sounds without them even realizing it! Have some tactile letter fun while also practicing letter formation, word tracing, coloring, and creativity! This letter theatre is a fun way to let them learn and let their brains loose at the same time! How to Use This: Have your students color and cut out the puppets. Have them find the focus letter and then trace the whole word. This is good practice for them finding and writing letters as part of larger words. Then tape the puppets onto popsicle sticks.
