This Guided Reading Book - Planets in Our Solar System (Level F) 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: Planets in Our Solar System Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Science Primary Topic: Basic facts about the Sun, planets, and Moon Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): F What This Book Teaches Best Introduces the Sun as a star in the center that gives light and heat to planets. Teaches planet order with one key fact per planet (Mercury through Neptune). Builds science content vocabulary in context (e.g., craters, surface, giant, unique, reflects ). Supports comparing planets using simple descriptive details (color, temperature, rings, winds, clouds). Learning Goals Students will identify the Sun’s role in the solar system using details from the text. Students will name the planets in order from Mercury to Neptune as presented in the book. Students will describe at least three planets using facts stated in the book. Students will explain what makes one planet “unique” in the text. Students will tell what the Moon does at night, according to the book. Key Vocabulary From the Text craters — deep holes in the ground. surface — the outside layer of something. giant — very, very big. unique — special and not like others. reflects — bounces light back. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you already know about the Sun, the Moon, and planets? Comprehension questions: Which planet does the book say is the smallest? What is Saturn famous for? What does the Moon reflect at night? 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.

Describes the process of making marshmallow mixture turn “fluffy” as it is beaten and thickens. Builds word knowledge through the origin of the name “marshmallow” from the marsh mallow plant and its “root sap.” Connects cause-and-effect in simple “food science”: heat toasts the outside and melts the inside; air pressure can make marshmallows puff up or shrink. Provides aligned support pages (trivia, questions, vocabulary tasks, writing, and extensions) that reuse the passage’s key ideas and terms. Learning Goals Explain why a marshmallow is called a “foam” using details from the text. Describe how air gets trapped in marshmallow ingredients while they are whipped or beaten. Tell why marshmallows are dusted with cornstarch. Explain where the word “marshmallow” comes from, based on the passage. Describe what heat does to a marshmallow over a fire or in hot chocolate. Describe how changes in air pressure can make marshmallows change size. Key Vocabulary From the Text Gelatin — ingredient that helps mixture set and hold bubbles. Cornstarch — powder dusted on marshmallows so they don’t stick. Cylinders — tube shapes, like short, round rolls. Sap — sticky liquid from a plant’s root. Pressure — force of air that can make bubbles shrink or grow. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away.

This Guided Reading Book - The Long Journey of a Comet (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: The Long Journey of a Comet Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Earth & Space Science Primary Topic: Comets: composition, orbit, coma, and tails Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best What comets are and what they’re made of (a “dirty snowball” mixture of ice, dust, and rock). How comets travel through the solar system, including long, oval-shaped orbits and time spent in the Kuiper Belt. What changes when a comet nears the Sun, including sublimation and the formation of a glowing coma. How solar wind and radiation create two tails that point away from the Sun, and how dust and ion tails differ. Why comets matter to scientists, described as “time capsules” that help scientists learn about the universe’s history. Learning Goals Students can describe what a comet is and identify materials the text says it contains. Students can explain what the nucleus is using details from the book. Students can describe what happens as a comet moves closer to the Sun, including sublimation and coma formation. Students can explain why a comet’s tails form and why they point away from the Sun. Students can compare the dust tail and the ion tail using text details. Students can explain what scientists can learn by studying comets, according to the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text mixture — different things combined together. nucleus — the solid center part of a comet. sublimation — when ice turns directly into gas. radiation — energy that travels out from the Sun. distinct — clearly different from something else. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think happens to a comet as it travels closer to the Sun? Comprehension questions: What does the text say a comet is made of? According to the text, what causes a comet to form a coma? What does the text say scientists can learn by studying comets? 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.

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: Inca Empire Genre: Nonfiction (informational passage) Subject: Social Studies (History) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Cusco, roads, quipu records, terraces, legacy Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How Cusco grew from a small kingdom into a larger Inca state in the 1400s under a leader named Pachacuti, and how the state was called Tawantinsuyu (the Realm of the Four Parts). How Inca engineers built a wide road system with stairs cut into rock and bridges, plus storehouses and resting places that helped the empire spread across western South America. How the Inca kept records without an English-like alphabet by using a quipu (cords with knots and colors for counts and notes). How terraces were used on hillsides to hold soil and water for crops like potatoes and corn, and how work was organized by the state as a kind of tax. How the empire ended after conflict and Spanish conquest, while people and culture continued (Quechua still spoken; terraces and stone places remain). Learning Goals Describe how Cusco changed in the 1400s and name the Inca state described in the passage. Explain how roads, bridges, and storehouses helped the Inca move messages, supplies, and armies. Explain what a quipu is and what it could record, based on the text. Describe what terraces are used for and how they helped farming on hillsides. Identify what happened in the 1500s that led to the end of the empire and one way Inca life continued afterward. Key Vocabulary From the Text Tawantinsuyu — the Inca state called the Realm of the Four Parts. chasquis — runners who carried messages from stop to stop. quipu — cords with knots and colors for records. terraces — flat steps that hold soil and water. storehouses — places along routes that kept needed supplies.
