Learn to Read: Lesson 6: CK
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools
This is a set of 2, short vowel /ck/, decodable phonic reading books, with supporting activity packs to help struggling readers develop reading fluency. Each lesson focuses on just ten decodable CK words and introduces the odd words: be, me, she and he. What is included: This is a pack of 2 lessons (3 books, 2 games, 2 packs of worksheets) - 2 for each vowel sound: a total time of 2 weeks of phonics instruction. This CK pack of worksheets and reading books is part of the Reading Made Simple Special Needs programme and follows straight after the 'Learn to Read Five Vowels Packs. https://teachsimple.com/product/decodable-reading-books-activity-packs-short-vowels For best effect, the lessons should be taught in order. Reading Made Simple for Special Needs A 100% systematic phonic reading programme for all ages and abilities. Give your child a Head start in reading! Due to its 100% systematic nature, this reading programme is highly suitable for any child with a special need, including dyslexia (or suspected), or any other need that is causing a child to have difficulties learning to read. What makes this reading programme different? · It has its own, easy-to-download and print phonic reading books, making it accessible to many children worldwide. · Each book carefully builds on the vocabulary of those that have gone before, providing much repetition, without relying on predictable text. · Pictures aid the storyline without encouraging reading from the pictures – i.e. guessing. · The vocabulary is based on phonic families, which are introduced in a carefully planned way. · True sight words – those that cannot be sounded out - are kept to the very minimum. Most words are introduced in their phonic family wherever possible. · It is truly multisensory, using the power of the hand. We not only look at the words, but we write them too. This is powerful and has the bonus of turning the child not only into a reader but into a writer as well. It is written to help children process differences between commonly confused words The author anticipates the common pitfalls of learning phonics and helps to ease the pupils over the difficulties. Typical signs that this programme can help: · Difficulty recalling words when seen on flashcards or when reading texts, which results in no or little reading fluency · b/d letter reversal of a chronic nature – i.e. the child has not grown out of it · Difficulty ordering letters in words: E.g. top becomes pot. · Difficulty differentiating between like words: spoon/soon; back/black; sheep/sleep etc… · Difficulty tracking words across a page To help all children succeed, each phonic family is taught in two lessons, each a week in duration. This speed has been tried and tested to be the optimum speed to allow children to absorb new information without mental overload. You may find that some children need longer - but never less. Each phonic family is split into half and only 5/6 words in a family are studied each week. Activities are provided to give the child plenty of exposure to the new sound and the set of words that contain it. These activities are not hard, but simply bring the child face to face with the words, first individually, then in sentences, and finally in longer passages. We also seek to strengthen knowledge of blends and develop phonemic awareness through the activities, much needed by these learners. In all, the way that Reading Made Simple has been designed reduces the burden on the working memory, making it easier for children to learn to read. Children relax as they meet familiar words again and again. They begin to say – sometimes for the first time, ‘I can read’. With this programme, you can help a non-reader today! Activities include: Reading fluency triangles Word Level: reading and spelling CK words Sentence Level; reading and spelling sentences, including previously taught sounds and /ck/ words. Reading books to practice reading with short stories. Games Spelling activities/other reading activities Activities to develop relevant phonemic awareness Activities to help ease children over the areas most struggle with. What is included: Full teaching instructions Flashcards 2 packs of activities and worksheets 3 reading books 2 games Full teaching instructions What next? Once completed, students should move straight on to the /oo/ Decodable Reading Books and Activity Pack.

Maze Series This maze series is designed for students in grades 2–5. Each set features a clear, kid-friendly theme with scene-based mazes that students first navigate, then complete by drawing a few target words from a simple word list. Pages come in varied styles and graduated difficulty, with an optional “color it in” step—and some themes invite quick calculations to match the task. These mazes are student-friendly, classroom-ready, and perfect for literacy warmups, seasonal units, fast-finisher bins, centers, sub plans, or home learning extensions. The playful, structured format builds problem-solving, attention to detail, and fine-motor control while reinforcing themed content in a motivating way. Note: Unlike many themed products, not all word-list words appear on the maze pages. To support full vocabulary coverage, we’ve released a companion word list you can find in the links section.

Students navigate the maze, encountering branches and cul-de-sacs that build attention and planning. Most pages include a tiny follow-up box—students draw or label 2–3 target words from a small word box, add a quick count, or color in the scene—so the activity reinforces both content and skills in a highly engaging format. Each completed set includes: A themed maze page. A simple student instruction strip. An answer key showing the solved path for teacher support or self-checking Themes Included These mazes cover a wide range of fun, age-appropriate themes, including: Seasons & Holidays (e.g., Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s Day) Math-Lite Connections (e.g., quick counts, number words) Everyday Topics (e.g., Animals, Weather, School) Special Units (e.g., Health, Earth Day, Sports, Kindness) Each topic reflects students’ real-life experiences and interests while strengthening problem-solving, visual scanning, and fine-motor control in a playful, highly visual way. Easy extensions (optional): Time it: solve once in pencil, then try to beat the time in pen Retell the route using sequence words (first, next, then, finally) Count intersections or turns and graph the results Write a 1–2 sentence mini-story about the scene using the target words Design a tiny maze in the corner for a partner to solve Differentiation tips: Offer a finger-trace pass before pencils for emerging learners Highlight the borders of the correct region on first attempts Use thicker-line versions or simpler pages to build confidence Pair roles: “navigator” gives directions; “driver” traces the path For similar downloads and other frees, do check out Cored Group on TeachSimple.

Guided Reading Level N - China (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Social Studies, Geography, Language Development, History, Grade 2, 3, 4, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments, Lesson Plans
This Guided Reading Book - China (Level N) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. 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. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. 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. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. 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: Look At the World: China Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Social Studies (Geography/History/Culture) Primary Topic: China’s land, history, culture, and change Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best How China’s geography includes very different landforms and regions (mountains, deserts, rice fields, coastlines). How rivers shaped early settlement and farming, including the Huang He (Yellow River) valley and the Yangtze River. How ideas and goods traveled through dynasties and trade routes (writing, inventions, the Silk Road). How important places and structures reflect history (the Great Wall, Beijing, the Forbidden City). How China continues to change today while balancing growth, traditions, and environmental concerns. Learning Goals Students will describe the variety of landscapes and regions found in China using text details. Students will explain why people settled near the Huang He (Yellow River) long ago. Students will identify examples of how ideas and inventions spread beyond China’s borders. Students will describe how the Great Wall and the Silk Road are connected to protection and trade. Students will summarize key changes over time described in the text (dynasties, later government changes, modern growth). Students will explain how language, festivals, and conservation are part of life in China today. Key Vocabulary From the Text dynasties — ruling families that lead for long times. civilization — a large, organized society with shared culture. merchants — people who buy and sell goods. dialects — different ways people speak the same language. conservation — protecting plants and animals so they can survive. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What have you heard or learned about China before today? Comprehension questions: What kinds of land and places does the text say China has across East Asia? Comprehension questions: Why do historians call the Huang He (Yellow River) valley important in the text? Comprehension questions: What does the text say merchants and travelers traded on the Silk Road? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.
