If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support.

Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further.

Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words.

Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words.

Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Boats on the Move Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Science (Forces & Motion) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Different ways boats move across water Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): L What This Book Teaches Best Different ways boats move on water (wind, oars, paddles, engines). How specific boat parts help movement (sails, mast, ropes, propeller). How coordinated actions affect motion (oars dipping “at the same time” to go straight). How markers guide movement during a race (boats turn around bright orange buoys to stay on track). Comparing speed and movement styles (quiet glide vs fast roar; forward motion by alternating paddle sides). Learning Goals Students will identify several ways boats move across the water using details from the text. Students will explain how sails and wind help pull a boat forward. Students will describe how rowers use oars together to move a boat straight ahead. Students will describe how a double-ended paddle helps a kayak move forward quickly. Students will explain how an engine and propeller help push a motorboat through the water. Students will describe why boats turn around buoys during a race, based on the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text mast — a tall pole that holds sails up. rhythm — a steady pattern of movement. double-ended — having an end on both sides. propeller — a spinning part that helps push a boat. buoys — floating markers that show where to go. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What are some different ways a boat could move across the water? Comprehension questions: How do large white sails help a boat move forward? What do rowers do “at the same time,” and what does that help the boat do? Why must boats turn around bright orange buoys during a race? Printing Tips 1.

Teaches the frog life cycle in clear steps: eggs (frogspawn) → tadpoles → legs grow → tail disappears → small frog. Shows how a tadpole lives and grows in water, including breathing through gills and eating tiny plants. Describes how frogs breathe (through skin and lungs) and how they get food (long, sticky tongue catching insects). Connects body parts to movement (strong back legs help frogs hop and jump high). Learning Goals Students will describe where frogs live and name physical traits the text mentions. Students will explain what frog eggs are called and describe what they look like. Students will retell the main stages of a frog’s life from eggs to a small frog. Students will describe how tadpoles move, breathe, and find food in the water. Students will explain how the frog’s body changes as legs grow and the tail disappears. Students will use text details to describe how a frog hunts and how it jumps. Key Vocabulary From the Text frogspawn — frog eggs that look like jelly. tadpoles — baby frogs that live in water and have tails. gills — body parts that help an animal breathe underwater. lungs — body parts used for breathing air. insects — small animals a frog can catch and eat. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What changes do you think happen as a tadpole grows into a frog? Comprehension questions: Where does a mother frog lay many eggs, according to the text?

Learn to Read: Lesson 7: OO
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Vocabulary, Writing, Grade 1, 2, 3, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
About This Product This is a pack of 49 Phonic OO worksheets to teach the OO, specially designed for those with special needs, including those with dyslexia or who may be suspected of being dyslexic, but will work equally well with young learners in Kindergarten/EYFS/Y1. These sheets are LETRS/Science of Reading and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programmes, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. Who are these worksheets for? I have written them for pupils who struggle with processing information - especially sounds. This includes children who are DYSLEXIC or have ANY other kind of processing disorder. Such children may have failed with other methods of teaching phonics. Such pupils need activities that: ·are highly structured - one tiny step at a time building on the one before using only a limited number of words to start with and only using words that the child has already learnt to sound out, with no nasty surprises. ·Have only a little on each pageas these pupils tire easily. What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out throughout the worksheets: 1. See it!where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out!Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by usingsound-it-out boxesfor reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word before blending the sounds. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound with a dictation which culminates our work before we move on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. Flashcards are included.
