ELA, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Students expand their knowledge of rimes with this resource. Some words may have the same ending sound, but be spelled in different ways. Students will explore these word families by matching onset and rime tiles. Then, they will blend the sounds together. Onsets begin words or syllables. They can be single consonants, blends or digraphs. Rimes are the vowels. This method allows students to break down words into parts to better sound them out. This allows them to cement these words into their vocabulary.

Earth Day Writing Challenge | Conservation, Recycling, and Geography!
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grammar, Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Getting kids to enjoy writing during the early elementary years is key. One way we can do that is to tie in their interests to the writing process. Earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on the inherent beauty of our Earth in addition to the responsibility we have to care for it. Let's get your 2nd-5th graders exploring the ways they can care for nature and use natural resources responsibly. Learners will decide their setting, a challenge, a step toward responsible conservation, and who they'll work with! Including the appropriate sequence of events, as well as a conflict is key. Thinking about the way we think is a foundational skill for growing the executive functions our kiddos will use in the editing process. For this reason, a short checklist has been included at the end of page 4 so that learners can begin to go back and check their work. This key skill in developing healthy executive functioning is intentionally made visible to students to prompt ownership over the quality of their writing. STANDARDS: Meets CCSS Writing standards for grades 2-5. Don't forget to check out the Chef's Toolbox, Superhero's Toolbox, and Astronaut's Toolbox activities for more fun! These activities can be used with a whole class in addition to the writing challenge printable. This printable is optimal for 2nd-5th graders who enjoy learning about space and demonstrating their knowledge of it. By using the included matrix to choose the setting, challenge, and characters in their story, they'll use the freedom afforded them to create something they love. *Note, some learners may require a basic explanation of what stocks, investments, and savings accounts are. BONUS: Take advantage of the 4 extension activity ideas included in this printable. These activities will take their writing beyond the page and bring it to life in STEAM-supported outlets. What you'll get: a 4 page PDF including instructions, extension activity ideas, and 3 student pages. One of these pages is simply writing space for you to print off as many copies as you need based on the amount your students are writing. You'll also find the editing checklist to prompt students to edit their own work for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

Guided Reading Level L - The Arctic Fox (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Pre-Reading, Language Development, Life Sciences, Science, Vocabulary, Animals, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - The Arctic Fox (Level L) 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: The Arctic Fox: A Winter Survivor Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Arctic fox adaptations for cold-weather survival Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): L What This Book Teaches Best Explains the Arctic fox’s habitat (“far north”) and names the tundra as a vast, treeless land with deep winter snow. Describes seasonal camouflage: white winter fur to hide, and brown/gray summer fur to blend with rocks and plants. Shows physical adaptations that help the fox stay warm and move safely (small rounded ears; thick fur on paws like “warm socks”). Teaches hunting behaviors using precise actions and vocabulary (hearing prey under snow; pouncing by leaping and diving head-first). Introduces animal homes and young: a den as tunnels under hills/rocks, and baby foxes called kits born in spring. Learning Goals Describe where the Arctic fox lives and what the tundra is. Explain how the Arctic fox’s fur color helps it in winter and in summer. Describe two body features that help the Arctic fox stay warm in freezing weather. Explain how the Arctic fox finds prey under the snow using its hearing. Describe what “pouncing” is and how it helps the fox catch food. Describe what a den is and what kits do as they grow. Key Vocabulary From the Text tundra — cold, treeless land in the far north. lemmings — small animals the fox can hunt. prey — an animal another animal hunts and eats. pouncing — leaping and diving quickly to catch food. den — a home or shelter where an animal lives. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What body parts or behaviors might help an animal stay warm in a cold, windy place? Comprehension questions: How does the Arctic fox’s fur help it hide in winter and in summer? What does the fox do with its tail when it goes to sleep? How does pouncing help the Arctic fox catch its food? 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.
