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

This engines 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: Engines Genre: Nonfiction (Informational Text) Subject: Science (Physical Science/Technology) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: How engines turn energy into motion Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the core idea that an engine turns energy into motion , using heat, fuel, or electricity to make parts move. Builds understanding of how steam engines work (boiling water makes steam push a piston) and how designs became more efficient (Watt’s separate condenser idea). Describes internal combustion engines and the four-step cycle (take in, squeeze, burn/push, exhaust) that repeats. Connects parts and motion: pistons moving back-and-forth can turn a crankshaft to keep rotation going. Introduces electric motors as another way to change energy into motion using magnetism and current to spin a shaft. Learning Goals Students will explain how an engine changes energy into motion using heat, fuel, or electricity. Students will describe how steam can push a piston in an early steam engine. Students will explain why a separate condenser made a steam engine design more efficient. Students will identify how an internal combustion engine makes motion by burning fuel inside a chamber. Students will list the four repeated steps of a four-stroke engine as stated in the passage. Students will describe how an electric motor uses magnetism and current to spin a shaft. Key Vocabulary From the Text piston — a part pushed by steam or hot gases. condenser — a part that cools steam somewhere else. combustion — burning fuel to make hot gases. crankshaft — a part that keeps turning as pistons move. magnetism — a force used with current to make a shaft spin.

Water Cycle Earth Science Activity
Earth and Environmental Sciences, Science, Earth Sciences, Environmental Science, Grade 2, 3, 4, Experiments, Activities, Diagrams, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Templates
I created this water cycle science activity for young students who are beginning to learn how water moves through Earth’s systems. Each page focuses on a simple part of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. The worksheets include clear diagrams, short explanations, and guided activities so students can understand the concept without feeling overwhelmed. This type of activity works well during science lessons, especially when students are being introduced to Earth science topics. It can be used as a whole-class activity, a science center, morning work, or extra practice after a lesson. I’ve used similar worksheets before, and students enjoy labeling diagrams and following the steps of the water cycle from start to finish. The pack is easy to print and works well in both color and black-and-white. It fits nicely into classroom routines and can also be used at home for review or reinforcement. What’s included: 11 printable water cycle worksheets Clear and simple water cycle diagrams Activities covering evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection Kid-friendly science illustrations Suitable for grades 1–3 Great for individual, partner, or small-group work

Incorporate Real World Engineering & Discovery into Your Science Classroom with a Comprehensive Simple Machines STEM Unit. Tired of trying to teach students about abstract concepts like force, work, and mechanical advantage in physics without providing a tangible and exciting way to understand them? This complete 5-Week STEM Unit is the all-in-one solution that you've been searching for! It includes everything you need to take your 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students from the theory of physics to creating their very own projects! This product is NOT just a bunch of worksheets, it is an entire educational experience! The resource contains 3 parts: a theoretical guide for teachers, an interactive student workbook & a complete teacher resource pack. The unit provides students with hands-on experiences as they explore 6 classical simple machines (levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, screws) by examining real-world case studies such as the pyramids of Giza through modern skyscrapers, & then participating in a series of hands-on, challenging activities. Constructivist approaches promote "productive struggle" within the context of providing students with a true understanding of the concepts in this unit, using low-cost, readily available, recycled materials. No more expensive kits, use real-world, authentic inquiry-based learning that develops a true engineering mindset! What This 38-Page Resource Includes: In-depth explanation of Simple Machines: Each of the 6 Simple Machines is explained to teachers in easy-to-understand language. Helpful historical case studies and concept reinforcement questions are included to aid understanding. Worksheets: 10 challenging worksheets designed for students, allow students to demonstrate an understanding of Simple Machines in real-world contexts. These worksheets include activities such as identifying simple machines in everyday objects, analyzing compound machines, calculating mechanical advantage, and working on a design project similar to a Rube Goldberg. Visuals & Helpful Teacher Tools: Three High Contrast Anchor Charts: Vector illustrations of the 6 Simple Machines, a Class 1 Lever (Mechanical Advantage) and the Engineering Design Cycle (STEM). For use in display and projection. Detailed Answer Key: Complete answer key for all 10 worksheets.

Simple machines, STEM activities, processes used in the design of mechanical systems (engineering design), the learning of physics, the learning of physics from the perspective of children, third grade, fourth grade, fifth-grade science, hands-on learning, project-based learning (PBL), the use of levers and pulleys, worksheets, STEM units or courses together with lesson plans requiring little or no preparation and low-cost preparation; utilizing mechanical advantages using acceleration. The Reasons Parents/Schools Value: Comprehensive & Ready to Use: This isn't just one thing to do; it is a full 5-week unit plan which includes theory, worksheets, visuals, and a detailed teacher's guide. This prepares the teacher for doing the lesson in dozens of hours less than would normally be required. Cost Effective & Easily Accessible: This unit plan was designed to be completed with items that are readily available to you such as cardboard, bottle caps, or string. There is no need to purchase expensive robotic kits that are specialized. Provides Deeper Conceptual Understanding: When students work through building challenges (e.g., utilizing force) they have a hands-on experience they will remember long after the activity is completed. Encourages Developing an Engineering Mindset: In addition to using the Engineering Design Cycle and creating "productive struggle", there is an emphasis on teaching students how to think like an engineer and to use real-world skills to solve problems, be resilient, implement multiple iterations of their solution, and critically think. Target group analysis : The text has an explicit statement of the target audience ("For students in grades 3-5"), so it's clear that the cognitive level of this audience is in the appropriate range. Because of these two factors, we have identified: 1. Primary audience Members consisting of 3rd through 5th Grade Teachers (from public, private and charter schools). 2. Secondary audience members of Homeschooling Families looking for a complete, structured STEM Curriculum. 3. Tertiary audience members will be STEM/STEAM Coordinators, After School Program Directors and Science Club Leaders or Facilitators.
