Letter B: PowerPoint and Worksheets: Lesson 2
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Kindergarten, Preschool, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Learn Initial Sounds B: Lesson 2 teaches the first letter Bb, and its related phonic sound through a PowerPoint lesson and 5 follow-up activity worksheets. All you need to teach the phonic letter B! Whether in school or at home, this series of phonic presentations can help you teach initial/beginning sounds effectively to all pupils, including those with special needs/dyslexia. This lesson is part of a synthetic, systematic phonics programme for all abilities including those suspected of being dyslexic. This lesson is in the first stage of the Reading Made Simple programme where we teach the initial, or beginning, sounds. The ability to hear the initial/beginning sound is stressed throughout, while we learn to associate each letter with its sound. Each lesson can stand alone but the activities will presume knowledge of the previous letters in the alphabet as Reading Made Simple teaches the initial sounds in alphabetical order. Special features of the Learn Initial Sounds B: Lesson 2 The PowerPoint is silent so that you can interact with your child in the best way for them: full instructions are provided at the bottom of each slide - be sure to show 'Notes'. Science of Reading Aligned Truly phonetic; no 'i' for 'ice-cream'. We focus heavily on phonemic awareness which is so necessary for a head start in phonics The child is given plenty of opportunities to learn the necessary skills - perfection is not expected in lesson 1 but the teacher will be looking for the development of the necessary skills as the child works through the alphabet. What is included in the 'Learn Initial Sounds B: Lesson 2 pack? A 23-slide PowerPoint which teaches phonemic awareness, letter/sound correspondence and letter formation along with practice games 5 follow-up worksheets How can the Learn Initial Sounds B: Lesson 2 be used? It can be used in multiple ways: As the child learns each sound, you can use the PowerPoint lesson to reinforce your own lesson It can be sent home for a child to watch with his/her parents after being taught the letter Bb in class - this will then act as revision as well as training the parent as to what is necessary to help the child. Use in class Use at home by parents or for home education Suggested Method: Introduce each letter in turn to your pupil. Have a flashcard of the letter ready. Say the sound each letter represents to the child and ask him/her to repeat it three times. Explain that some words begin with this sound. Give an example. Either use the lesson as teacher training for yourself to see how to teach your child, or use it with the child. Choose suitable activities (matching the ability of your child) from the pak of worksheets. Notes are suggestions only - use language appropriate to your pupil and be sure to interact naturally. However, do make sure that you focus on the hearing of the sounds at the beginning of words as this is much overlooked in the quest to help children learn the initial sounds as quickly as possible. Technical help: Use the PowerPoint in normal mode so that you can see the notes and use the 'Draw' tool when prompted. Some slides are interactive.

Mo Willems is the author of the Pigeon book series. The books contain large amounts of vocabulary designed for k-2nd graders. However, the pictures are so simple and adorable, they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I adore this series so much that i have collected all of them despite that my son is almost 20 years old. As a result, I created the first of what I hope to be a series of reading comprehension and guided reading activity packs to make learning more fun for early elementary students as well as special education students and those with special needs in the areas of speech and communication. The book, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay up Late," is required reading in order for students to complete all of the activities. It is available for purchase at Amazon and at Mo Willems own website. You can also find it at your local library to check out. Students will practice reading and learn about grammar, spelling, and increase vocabulary. Activities include: Open-ended questions, writing prompts, based on the text in the book. Sight word recognition activities 32 Spelling Words 32 Vocabulary Words Alphabetization Fill-in-the-Blank Drawing And More Students will be given the opportunity to search for: 14 CVC words found in the book 14 nouns found in the book 18 sight words found in the book Great for: Reading Centers Literature Centers Guided Reading Read aloud activities Practicing Social and Emotional Skills Pigeon books are written so that the reader is directly being spoken to by the Pigeon.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities Grades KG-12 (13-Book Bundle)
Reading, ELA, Reading Comprehension, Kindergarten, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
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 Logs, Goal-Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This 47-page editable resource, Reading Logs, Goal-Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers is a how-to lesson to help teachers center the importance of reading (and independent reading) in their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts classrooms by having students be accountable for their reading. Students establish goals for their reading: the number of pages, minutes, and books they would like to read over the course of a grading period (quarter, trimester, or semester). They initially reflect on their feelings about reading, then establish goals for the first marking period. (The resource offers a step-by-step instruction for teachers to help students set reasonable and realistic goals for how much they want to read.) Each grading period, they review their goals to see if they achieved, surpassed, or fell short of achieving them. They reflect on their successes and challenges, and then. establish new goals. This resource offers teachers the following: a hyperlinked Table of Contents About this Resource- a handy guide with everything you need for this resource in one place a detailed lesson plan that includes how students can determine their reading goals Essential and Guiding Questions Standards, Objectives, and Learning Targets a sample Reading Requirements handout for a typical classroom which is easily editable to fit your needs a self-reflection as readers, before they establish goals the first time Reading Goals for each marking period (Quarters and Trimesters are included) which contain self-reflections for students to complete in which they celebrate their successes, identify their challenges, offer solutions for these challenges, and set new goals for the next grading period. Reading Log Template for Quarters or Trimesters for students to complete Reflections for each marking period End-of-Year Reflection with guiding questions for them to think about their goals, their successes, their challenges, what they learned about themselves as readers, favorite books or authors, etc. 6 Sample Student End-of-Year Reflections Most students don't read enough and many of our students read below grade level. As English teachers, we struggle with providing our students enough in-class time for reading, whether it's through SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) or DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) or some other carved out time for reading. Many teachers will tell you that they have tried reading logs, and students often cheat on them or don't turn them in. My experience has been different. By building in student accountability by having them establish reading goals, in addition to giving them 10-15 minutes of silent reading in class twice a week (or however much time you have dedicated to it), and by checking in with them regularly on their reading practice, students turn in their reading logs. Of course there has to be follow-through on the teacher's part by contacting parents, discussing with students how to choose the just-right book, making sure books are available, talking about reading, doing book talks, or having them do book talks, etc. You might be interested in the following resources that pair nicely with Reading Logs, Goal Setting, and Reflection for Middle School Readers. Part 1: What We Do When We Read: Teach or Review Reading Strategies for Middle School, When we read, our brain is engaging in subconscious activities related to what we are reading. In this lesson, students complete a reading survey, write a personal reading history, and through the poem, "The Voice You Hear When You Read Silently," by Thomas Lux, identify reading strategies we use subconsciously. Part 2: Reading Logs and Goal Setting for Middle School Readers, in this how-to lesson, teachers introduce what they expect from their students in terms of their accountability for their reading. Students have handouts to help them establish goals for their reading for each grading period: how many books they want to finish and how many pages they want to read, and a self-reflection on their accomplishments. Part 4: Summary Writing for Short Stories in your Middle School Classroom : A step-by-step lesson to teach students write a summary of a short story by completing a graphic organizer. Includes links to several stories. Also includes an optional group summary project In addition, using Chris Van Allsburg picture books. Part 5: Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response (Strategies to Teach) : Provides teachers with detailed lessons to teach students how to respond to literature by analyzing and interpreting their thoughts while reading. This process trains students to focus on their reading. There are many student examples and opportunities for interactive activities. I also offer a number of book reports that help students stay accountable to their reading.
