oo Phonic Worksheets for Early Years/Intervention
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Vocabulary, Writing, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
About This Product This is a pack of 42 Phonic OO worksheets to teach the OO, specially designed for those with special needs, including those with dyslexia or who may be suspected of being dyslexic, but will work equally well with young learners in Kindergarten/EYFS/Y1. These sheets are LETRS/Science of Reading and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programmes, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. Who are these worksheets for? I have written them for pupils who struggle with processing information - especially sounds. This includes children who are DYSLEXIC or have ANY other kind of processing disorder. Such children may have failed with other methods of teaching phonics. Such pupils need activities that: ·are highly structured - one tiny step at a time building on the one before using only a limited number of words to start with and only using words that the child has already learnt to sound out, with no nasty surprises. ·Have only a little on each pageas these pupils tire easily. What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out throughout the worksheets: 1. See it!where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out!Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by usingsound-it-out boxesfor reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word before blending the sounds. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound with a dictation which culminates our work before we move on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. Flashcards are included. What is included in the pack: 46 Activities 2 Games Flashcards Please note: This pack is in a series: Find the bundle here: https://teachsimple.com/product/phonic-worksheets-for-special-needs-bundle-highly-structured I do hope others find these Special Needs Phonic worksheets helpful for their pupils with ordering and processing difficulties!

Target Audience / Students Grades : Kindergarten & 4th/5th Grades are not targeted (English). The curriculum is developed with 1st through 3rd grade (ages 6-9) only - early elementary children who are in the concrete operational cognitive development stage; therefore, the curriculum utilizes concrete metaphors (e.g.; recipe, blueprint, vault, shield), large print for worksheets, and has scenarios appropriate for a given age, such as bats/frogs/knights/dinosaurs. This is not appropriate for kindergarten or 4th grade and beyond as the language and activity levels are too elementary for 4th and older students, and also too advanced for pre-k.

Farm Animals: Guided Reading Level P with Lesson Plan

This Farm Animals (level p) guided reading book 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: Farm Animals Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: How common farm animals live and help people Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P What This Book Teaches Best Describes key traits and behaviors of farm animals (for example, cows digest tough grasses; pigs use mud to regulate temperature; goats climb steep surfaces). Explains how different farm animals support people , such as animals raised for milk, meat, eggs, wool, or work (pulling plows, transporting goods). Builds understanding of animal groups and social behavior , including flocks and a “pecking order” (social hierarchy). Highlights physical features linked to survival , such as sheep’s wide field of vision to spot predators and donkeys’ large ears helping them stay cool and hear well. Introduces science vocabulary tied to the text’s concepts, including domesticated, ruminants, keratin, descendants, and hierarchy . Learning Goals Students can describe how at least three farm animals are raised or used, using details from the text. Students can explain what the text says makes cows ruminants and what their digestive system allows them to do. Students can explain why the text says pigs use mud and what mud helps them do. Students can describe how chickens live in groups and what “pecking order” means in the text. Students can identify animal body parts mentioned (hooves, feathers, webbed feet, horns) and describe what the text says they help the animal do. Students can compare two animals from the book by stating one similarity and one difference based on text evidence. Key Vocabulary From the Text ruminants — animals that chew food again and digest grass. hierarchy — an order that shows who is in charge. keratin — a hard material that makes hooves and fingernails. descendants — animals that come from earlier animals in a family line. domesticated — animals raised by people, living with or near humans. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What farm animals do you already know, and what do you think they do on a farm? Comprehension questions: What does the text say cows’ digestive system helps them do that some other animals cannot do? Comprehension questions: Why does the text say pigs use mud? Comprehension questions: What does the text say llamas can do because of their height and alert nature? 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.

EE Phonic Worksheets
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This is a pack of 12 Phonic worksheets to teach the digraph 'ee', plus flashcards and a no-prep GAME! These worksheets are designed to be worked in order as they start by developing the child's phonemic awareness of the new sound in words, and progress to reading and spelling words with the new sound, to reading passages and writing a short dictation. These sheets are LETRS and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programs, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. These ee Worksheets can help all children in the class succeed, even the lower third and those with special needs, as their highly structured nature helps to reduce the burden on the working memory which leads to less frustration for the child. What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out over the course of the 12 worksheets: 1. See it!where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out!Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by usingsound-it-out boxesfor reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word prior to blending the sounds together. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound with a dictation which culminates our work before we move on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. A fun, no-prep game closes the unit of work making learning fun and providing a non-threatening way for children to consolidate their learning. Flashcards are included with space to make more if appropriate. What is included in the pack: A front cover 12 Activities based on the 'Sound it out' principles. A dictation Flashcards Game This is one of a series. Find more in my store.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Lemonade Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies (Food history & culture) / Science (mixtures) Primary Topic: What lemonade is, and how it varies by place Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): O What This Lesson Teaches Best What lemonade is usually made from and how flavors can be adjusted (more lemon = sharper; more sugar = softer). Science-connected ideas in everyday life (citric acid, vitamin C, and sugar dissolving with stirring). A brief history of lemon drinks across time and places (12th-century Egypt; 1600s England; 1676 Paris sellers). How the same word can mean different things in different regions (cloudy still drink vs. bubbly lemon soda). Cultural connection: lemonade stands as a summer way for kids to earn money and a “symbol” of warm-weather fun. Learning Goals Describe the typical ingredients in lemonade named in the passage. Explain why lemons taste tart, using the text’s reason. Summarize the historical examples of lemon drinks given (Egypt, England, Paris). Compare what “lemonade” can mean in different places using details from the passage. Describe what happens when sugar dissolves and why stirring helps, according to the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text sweetener — something added to make a drink taste sweet. citric — related to the sour acid found in citrus fruits. zest — tiny bits of the outer lemon peel. dissolves — mixes into liquid and seems to disappear. bubbly — full of bubbles, like soda. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.

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.

Learning Goals Students will describe how people participated in quiz shows before TVs were common, using details from the passage. Students will explain how television changed quiz shows, including what it was like for contestants under cameras and lights. Students will explain what “rigged” means in the passage and why quiz shows had to “rebuild trust.” Students will identify ways quiz shows appear today (board, screen at home, or podcast), based on the passage.

Math, Numbers, Grade 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Recognising and identifying even and odd numbers is one of the most fundamental ways to start exploring patterns in numbers. Starting with counting and pairing objects, it moves to recognising even and odd numbers by simply looking at the last (unit) digit in a number, whatever digits come before it, and whatever the size of the number. Worksheets Set 1 Each of the 9 questions on the worksheets contains up to 14 objects. There are 2 arrangements of the objects which you can choose from: -objects arranged neatly in columns -objects spread out randomly The purpose here is to practice counting in pairs to help determine whether the number of objects are even or odd. By clicking a button at the bottom of the page , the bundle of objects are randomly rearranged on the page, so you can create more worksheets if needed. Worksheets Set 2 Pupils use this worksheet to recognise which numbers are even or odd numbers by simply looking at the last digit. There are two levels to choose from: The first contains numbers up to 100, and the second, for an extra challenge, numbers up to 1000. Here you can create almost unlimited further worksheets.. Unlimited Worksheets ? At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, and will therefore change every time so you can create as many unique worksheets as you need for classwork, homework, end of lesson filler etc. Answers can be found on the second page of every worksheet, automatically generated whenever you create a new worksheet. Self Checking Interactive Presentation Ideal for a whole class activity as an introduction for the content of each of the Worksheet Sets where pupils can come to the Whiteboard and enter solutions and get immediate feedback.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Microscopes Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Science (scientific tools) Primary Topic: How microscopes magnify; parts; history Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how microscopes make tiny objects look larger so people can explore what they can’t see with eyes alone. Teaches how a compound microscope uses two lenses (objective lens first, then the eyepiece) to create a bigger picture. Describes key microscope parts and what they do (slide, stage with clips, coarse focus knob, fine focus knob, iris diaphragm). Introduces resolution as an important idea for seeing details clearly, not just making things bigger. Connects science tools to history and innovation (Robert Hooke and Micrographia , Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, and electron microscopes). Learning Goals Describe what a microscope does using details from the passage. Explain how the objective lens and eyepiece work together in a compound microscope. Identify the job of the coarse focus knob and the fine focus knob when making an image look crisp. Explain how the iris diaphragm helps control light when viewing pale samples. Define resolution as the passage describes it and explain why it matters. Compare light microscopes and electron microscopes based on what they use to see tiny structures. Key Vocabulary From the Text Objective — lens close to sample that makes the first enlarged image. Eyepiece — top lens you look through that enlarges the picture again. Diaphragm — part that controls how much light comes through. Resolution — how close two points can be and still look separate. Vacuum — space with no air where samples sit in electron microscopes. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.
