'Are You A Good Friend?' Checklist This is a pre-activity checklist used before recess time or group projects begins and acts as conversation starter. Its purpose is to encourage students to think about their actions in a positive educational framework. 'Were You A Good Friend?' Checklist Focusing on post-activity reflection, this checklist encourages students to review their behaviour and identify areas for improvement if necessary. Variations Catering Learning Styles Set 1: Full-color versions with visual cues via pictures for reinforcing ideas along with black-and-white versions for cost-effective printing. Set 2:Set 3:Note:The resource’s potential is maximized when laminated allowing endless use via dry erase markers over time.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Nests Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Life Science (animal behavior & habitats) Primary Topic: How animals build nests to protect young Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the purpose of nests as “a special place” animals make to protect eggs or young. Shows that nests aren’t only for birds—some fish, insects, and mammals make nests too. Describes how nests are built from nearby materials (twigs, dry grass, leaves, soft feathers), and how some birds use mud or sticky spider silk. Compares different nest types and locations (smooth cups, simple scrapes, tree holes, burrows, hanging woven bags, domes with entrance tunnels). Connects nesting to safety and care: nests help hide eggs, block harsh weather, hold warmth while parents brood, and staying litter-free helps wild nests stay safer. Learning Goals Define a nest using details from the passage. Explain that many kinds of animals (not only birds) make nests. Identify materials the passage says nests can be made from. Describe at least two different nest shapes or structures mentioned in the text. Explain how nests help eggs and young stay safe and warm, using evidence from the passage. Describe one way people can help keep wild nests safer, based on the passage. Key Vocabulary From the Text Cliffs — steep rocky sides of land. Burrows — holes in the ground used as homes. Scrape — a shallow dip in sand or soil. Instinct — a natural feeling that guides what to do. Brood — sit on eggs to keep them warm. 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.

Learn Words Ending in le (as in apple) and Read the Story 'The Surprise'
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Learn Words Ending in 'le' (as in apple) and Read the Story 'The Surprise' This comprehensive teaching resource is designed to make phonics learning engaging and straightforward for young educators. The material helps children acquire reading skills through practicing phonetic sounds, particularly focusing on the sound ‘le’ at the end of words. Who it's For: Perfectly pairs with language arts curriculums of preschoolers as well as first and second graders Ideal for older readers who are reluctant or those grappling with language-learning difficulties Suits learners speaking English as a foreign language About The Resource: Structured coursework that infuses 44 phonic sounds into engaging stories - 'The Bouncing Castle' and 'The Famous Cousin From The Country.' Flexible modes of delivery include one-to-one coaching sessions or small study groups. Moreover, a teacher-parent-child trio setup could also be effective. Suitability for Different Settings: Diverse classroom settings - regular classrooms, special school interventions focusing on literary skills development Homeschooling situations EFL/ESL classes where English pronunciation requires reinforcement. Included Activities: To help solidify learnt knowledge, activity sheets containing word-to-picture matching exercises are included. This approach encourages children to link visual elements directly with individual phonic sounds instead of relying on rote memory patterns alone. Detailed instructions guide educators on how successive packs should be introduced based on each child’s familiarity and confidence levels with particular sounds. While descriptions may suggest a certain order for introducing these sounds, flexibility exists to adapt according to individual learning styles. Start with simpler phonemes like 'ch' or 'sh', then progressively build upon complex sound patterns such as ‘ea,’ ‘oa,’ or end-of-word pronunciations like 'le.' Children's progress can be measured by their transition to independent reading of books, signaling reading readiness and the development of recognition skills from using this resource. Implement this teaching resource today and see your learner morph into a confident reader within six months!

These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. 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. 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: Walkie-Talkies Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science & Technology (Informational Reading) Primary Topic: How walkie-talkies work, history, and clear communication Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): P What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how a walkie-talkie works as a handheld two-way radio that switches from listening to sending when the talk button is pressed. Builds understanding of shared communication rules , including that only one radio can transmit at a time and messages stay “short and clear.” Introduces a simple history of portable radios , from early military use (including a “packset” and the Motorola SCR-300) to later helpers on job sites. Highlights how word choice matters when people share the air, connecting clear/kind words to teamwork and getting things done. Uses comparisons and descriptive language (e.g., “scratchy,” “like a distant whisper,” “lighter than a deck of cards”) to help readers picture sound and size. Learning Goals Students will describe what a walkie-talkie is and what it can do (send and receive messages). Students will explain what happens when the talk button is pressed and why the radio listens most of the time. Students will identify at least two ways early walkie-talkies differed from many walkie-talkies today. Students will describe why teams keep messages short and clear when using walkie-talkies. Students will use evidence from the text to explain what “over” means in walkie-talkie talk. Key Vocabulary From the Text antenna — the part that sticks up to help signals travel. channel — a shared path where people hear the same messages. portable — easy to carry from place to place. transmit — send a message through the air. rugged — strong and built to last.

Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Rainbows Genre: Nonfiction (informational text with support pages) Subject: Science (Light & Weather) Primary Topic: How sunlight and raindrops make rainbows Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the conditions for seeing a rainbow (Sun behind you; rain or mist in front; rainbow appears opposite the Sun). Builds a clear scientific model of how rainbows form (sunlight enters a raindrop, bends, bounces inside, and bends again as it leaves). Teaches that a rainbow is part of a circle and why it can “disappear” when the Sun is higher (the circle drops below the horizon). Connects science ideas to history of discovery (scholars testing with water-filled glass spheres; Descartes and Newton using a prism to explain white light and colors). Extends learning with aligned practice pages (questions, writing, and activities); vocabulary is mostly aligned, but “Refraction” appears on a vocab page while the passage describes “bending” without using that word. Learning Goals Students will describe where the Sun and rain/mist need to be to see a rainbow. Students will explain the “twisty trip” sunlight takes inside a raindrop using key details from the passage. Students will describe why a rainbow is part of a circle and what happens when the Sun is higher. Students will explain how two bounces inside droplets create a fainter outer bow and flip the color order. Students will identify how people helped solve the rainbow mystery (examples from the Middle Ages, Descartes, and Newton). Key Vocabulary From the Text horizon — where the sky seems to meet the land. raindrop — a tiny drop of water from rain. prism — clear object that spreads white light into colors. scholars — people who study and test ideas carefully. droplets — very small drops of water in the air.
