Reading Comprehension Passages Fiction Set 3 Snapshot Title: Title not stated Genre: Fiction (short story collection) Subject: Reading Primary Topic: Food-themed stories for comprehension practice Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): O What This Teaches Best Trying new things (theme/lesson): A student refuses banana muffins, then tries one and likes it. Sequencing and procedural text in narrative form: One story walks through cookie-baking steps with time and temperature details (measure, mix, roll, cut, bake, cool). Everyday problem/solution: Characters solve small problems (boredom during summer; fitting a garden into a small space; choosing one pizza everyone likes). Character feelings and motivations: Students can track wants and emotions that drive actions (hungry and impatient; confused but excited; bored then creative; busy but valuing family time). Built-in literacy practice pages connected to the stories (with a few check points): Most questions/vocabulary tasks refer directly to story details, but one story ends with “blueberry muffin” after describing banana muffins, and one question asks which language Dad uses even though the story only says he is “translating for the Brazilian government.” Learning Goals Students will recount key events from a story in order using text details. Students will describe a character’s problem and explain how it is solved. Students will describe characters’ feelings or motivations and point to words/actions that show them. Students will identify cause-and-effect relationships (what happened and why) within a story. Students will use context clues to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words from the stories. Students will explain how a routine or tradition shapes events in a story. Passages Include 1.Happy Birthday Mrs. B: Mrs. Barber has cooked something special for the class. 2.Sophie's Own Garden: Grandma buys Sophie some garden supplies. 3.Lunchtime: Kasey has a surprise for her lunch. 4.Cindy's Tea Party: Cindy invites some special friends to her tea party. 5.My Saturdays: Anything better than baking cookies on a Saturday? 6.Friday Night Pizza: Read about the Webster Family Special in this story.

Initial Sounds Screening Test: Phonic Test
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Kindergarten, Preschool, Tests, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools
Initial sounds Phonics Test This is a fun test to find out whether children can hear the initial, or beginning sound of words, or not. The test requires the teacher to ask: What sound does _____ begin with? The child has bright colourful pictures on each of the three pages and plenty of space to record his/her answer next to each picture. Who is the Initial Sounds Phonics Test for? This test is for anyone who teaches the initial sounds to children, be that Pre-K, K, ESL, EFL, Private tutors, home educators, or parents at home. Full instructions as to how to administer the test are provided, including solutions in case of misidentification of pictures. Format: The test has a bright cover, with space for the child’s name. it also includes a quick reference chart so that the teacher can quickly see which sounds a child does not yet know. Instructions and rationale: Print as a booklet (A3 paper required), or print the A4 pages individually and staple them together. Full instructions are included. Testing has got a bad name, but it is crucial that every teacher informally tests all of their pupils regularly to make sure that every child is ready for the next step. If we wish children to succeed in learning to read and spell with phonics, then we must check this very first skill thoroughly. Children will not think it is a test, with its bright pictures and appealing layout. Testing tips: Make sure every child can hear the initial sounds before they start to blend. Help every child succeed in reading! During the test, speak clearly and repeat a word as often as needed. Observation of the child's response is as important as what the child records. Was there any hesitation? Did the child make any corrections? How confident did the child appear? Included: 1 PDF Which includes pages to make a 4-page booklet, including a cover Teacher instructions Size A4
