Who is the Or video lesson for? It is suitable for all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. An adult should sit with the child for maximum benefit. It is better if an adult teaches the child him/herself, so this video can also be used to see how a phonic lesson can be taught, simply and cheaply at home. For an OR workbook for special needs pupils, please see: https://teachsimple.com/product/or-phonic-worksheets-for-early-yearsintervention How can it be used? Parents can use it as a home-education resource. It can be used by parents to learn how to teach their child, breaking each skill up into tiny steps so needed by those with a special need. It can be shared with parents if their child is learning Or in school, on a school platform. It can be used for teacher training purposes. It can be used by private tutors. Lesson Format: The lesson begins with training the child's ear to hear the new sound /or/ in words. The child is then encouraged to finger trace the letters 'or' while saying /or/ and then to write the sound /or/. Next, the pupil is led into and activity where s/he must see the /or/ sound in words. This leads on into spelling words with /or/: short, torch, storm, thorn and finally horse with the silent 'e'. Finally, the pupil is given three sentences to read containing words with the sounds /or/. The pupil is taught to firs track the sentences for known sounds - such as /or/ and then to read the passage. 1 video with 48 'slides' Produced by a teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching phonics, and who makes resources, particularly for those with special needs.

This Jails 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: Jails Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Social Studies (Civics) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: What jails are and how they differ from prisons Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains what a jail is and why people may be there for a short time (waiting for a court date or serving short sentences). Uses history to show how jails were used long ago (England, 1166) and why the spelling “gaol” appeared. Clarifies the difference between “jail” and “prison” in formal American and Canadian English (pretrial custody/shorter sentences vs. longer sentences). Connects jails to community routines and civic values (rules, safety checks, fairness, harm prevention, justice). Builds understanding of how word choice and definitions matter when discussing systems and government roles (counties vs. state/federal). Learning Goals Describe what a jail is and give two reasons people may be held there. Explain how early jails in England were used and what “gaol” means in the passage. Explain what changed in the 1790s in the United States, according to the text. Compare a jail and a prison using details from the passage. Identify examples of routines and rules in jails and explain why they matter. Key Vocabulary From the Text booking — recording a new person in jail. cells — small rooms where people are held. trial — a court process to decide a case. convicted — found guilty of a crime. reform — help someone change for the better.

Lesson Snapshot Title: Jugglers Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies / Arts Primary Topic: Juggling across history and repeating patterns Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best Traces juggling through time and places (ancient Egypt, China, Greece/Rome, Europe, and today). Uses a historical example (an Egyptian tomb painting) to explain evidence of early juggling and what it suggests about audiences. Highlights performance skills jugglers show—control, timing, courage—and how crowds can understand the act “without any words.” Explains change over time: juggling’s reputation in Europe after the Roman Empire weakened, and how modern circuses brought it into the spotlight. Emphasizes the repeating pattern at the heart of juggling (throw, wait, catch, repeat) and connects it to learning rhythm with patience. Learning Goals Describe what the Egyptian tomb painting shows and why the passage calls it an early picture of toss juggling. Explain how juggling was used to impress or amaze people in different cultures mentioned in the text. Describe how some people in Europe viewed jugglers later and explain what the skill did instead of disappearing. Identify the basic juggling pattern named in the passage and explain why it matters. Compare where a juggler might perform today (stage, circus ring, sidewalk) and explain what stays the same. Key Vocabulary From the Text tomb — a place where someone is buried. audiences — groups of people watching a performance. festivals — celebrations with events and crowds. rhythm — a steady beat or timing pattern. wrongdoing — doing something people believe is wrong.

One of the most significant turning points in a child's education is learning to read. Using CVC words is one of the oldest and most successful methods of teaching reading. Consonant-Vowel-Consonant is referred to as CVC. For young students and beginning readers, these straightforward three-letter words with a regular structure are perfect. Children can better grasp how individual sounds, or phonemes, combine to make words by using CVC words. They offer a strong basis for decoding, blending, and phonics abilities. Children can learn to read the entire word "cat," for instance, by blending the sounds /k/, /a/, and /t/. Early learners, ESL students, and everyone else just starting out in reading and spelling are the target audience for this ebook. It contains 50 of the most widely used CVC words, along with a definition and sample sentence for each. The word list is followed by a student worksheet that includes thirty entertaining and instructive activities to help reinforce the content. There are answers at the end for teachers or self-evaluation. Now let's start learning!

Short Vowels Decodable  Books + Video Lessons + Activity Packs

Short Vowels Decodable Books + Video Lessons + Activity Packs
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Lesson Plans

This is a set of ten lessons for struggling readers to help them develop reading fluency. The lessons cover short vowel words with and without a consonant blend. It includes 10 lessons, 10 decodable Reading Books, 10 matching PowerPoint presentations of the books + 10 packs of worksheets - a pack to support each book. This 10-week curriculum focuses on short vowel sounds and is designed for struggling readers. It includes 10 decodable reading books, each with only 10 new words per book to prevent cognitive overload. This pack is designed for children who have already learned to blend words with a short vowel sound, with both three and four sounds, but have not yet attained reading fluency. We study the ten words in each vowel sound, five each week, and then practice by using the activity pack. The child becomes very familiar with these five words. The child can then be given the next reading book and, to his/her great surprise, can read the book quite fluently without having to decode nearly every word. This gives the child an enormous boost. The process seems, in my experience, to help the child learn what is needed, once they can sound out words _ it helps them to learn how to store the words in the long-term memory, and I find it gets easier and easier as we go through the programme. The worksheets provide multi-sensory activities to help the child develop: Flashcards of the relevant words for each sound Phonemic awareness Strengthen consonant blends, which these children often find hard Tracking skills, which are again poor for many of these children Word differentiation - we tackle confusion words head-on (e.g. big/pig) Comprehension - as reading becomes more fluent, we can now build comprehension Fun print and go games And much, much more! The systematic, repetitive nature of this program makes it suitable for students with special needs, including those with dyslexia, cerebral palsy, or general learning disabilities. Ideal for small groups or one-on-one instruction, it helps develop reading fluency, phonetic awareness, and early writing skills. Teachers praise the simple download-and-print format that allows students worldwide to benefit. After completing this introductory short vowels pack, students can progress to more advanced phonics. This pack is followed by our decodable readers and PowerPoints, which continue in the same way: https://teachsimple.com/product/phonic-readers-matching-worksheets-and-powerpoint-pack-1-ck

An Invaluable Tool for Dynamic Instruction The material included in SIXSPELL has been thoughtfully selected from various word lists suitable for Grade 3 students; taking into account possible overlaps across different grades due partially related word usage.. This versatile toolkit can be employed equally effectively either during large group classes or during more focused small group lessons - you get maximum results when aligned specifically with your classroom context! . . . ., .
