Teddy Bear SEL Coloring pages Based On Likes and Dislikes!
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Coloring Pages, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
In this SEL coloring page product, students will color their teddy bear picture based on their preferences for certain things. This is a great way to discuss likes, dislikes, choices, and respect for all students' opinions and values. There are directions on one of the pages and the actual coloring on the other page. This is great to do with students at the beginning of the year or if you are working with a small group of new students. This is also a great activity for any time of year so kids will get to know their classmates likes and dislikes. This is laying the foundation for students to begin getting comfortable talking about differences and similarities. This is such an important skill for anti-racist work with students.

Transform Your Literacy Instruction with Science of Reading Heart Word Worksheets! Are you struggling to teach tricky, high-frequency words like said , was , and they ? Do your early readers get frustrated when phonics rules don't apply? Say goodbye to rote memorization and hello to a method that works! This comprehensive resource, grounded in the Science of Reading , leverages the power of Orthographic Mapping to help students master irregular high-frequency words. Our "Heart Word" tracing method is a game-changer for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade classrooms. Instead of asking students to memorize the whole word, we teach them to identify the decodable parts they already know and focus their memory on only the irregular "heart part"—the part they must learn by heart. This isn't just another set of worksheets; it's a complete instructional toolkit designed to reduce cognitive load, build reading confidence, and create lasting neural pathways for fluent reading. WHAT'S INCLUDED: Part 1: In-Depth Teacher's Guide (10 pages): A professional guide explaining the methodology, the cognitive science behind orthographic mapping, and case studies showing proven results. Part 2: Student Workbook (10 Differentiated Worksheets): Engaging, multi-sensory worksheets that guide students through mapping and tracing common high-frequency words. The activities isolate the irregular graphemes for targeted practice. Part 3: Teacher Resources & Visuals (14 pages): Visual Frameworks: Clear diagrams explaining the "Heart Word" mapping process and the 5-step kinesthetic learning cycle. Developmental Scaffolding Matrix: A guide to using the worksheets across Pre-K, K, and 1st Grade. Step-by-Step Implementation Protocol: An "I Do, We Do, You Do" lesson plan to ensure effective instruction. Assessment Tools: Formative and summative assessment rubrics and logs to track student progress. Comprehensive Answer Keys: Master mapping keys for all words and answers to knowledge checks. WHO IS THIS FOR? Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade Teachers Homeschooling Parents Reading Interventionists and Specialists (RTI / Tier 2) Literacy Coaches Tutors working with students who struggle with sight words Stop the guessing game and empower your students with a logical, brain-friendly system for decoding the most common words in the English language. Download now to build confident, fluent readers! Keywords: Science of Reading, SoR, Heart Words, High-Frequency Words, Sight Words, Orthographic Mapping, Tracing Worksheets, Phonics, Irregular Words, Decoding, Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade, Homeschool, Reading Intervention, Multi-Sensory Learning, Digital Download. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Grounded in Science: It’s not just busywork. This curriculum is built on the proven, brain-based principles of the Science of Reading and orthographic mapping. Reduces Student Frustration: It transforms "tricky words" from a source of confusion into a solvable puzzle, boosting confidence and reducing anxiety for young learners. Multi-Sensory & Engaging: By combining visual (seeing), auditory (saying the sound), and kinesthetic (tracing) learning, it cements words into long-term memory far more effectively than flashcards. Builds Stronger Decoders: Instead of encouraging guessing, it teaches students to analyze words, strengthening their overall phonics and decoding skills for all reading. Comprehensive & All-in-One: It's more than just worksheets. It's a complete, ready-to-use toolkit with a teacher's guide, implementation protocols, and assessment tools, saving educators valuable planning time. Target Student Classes : Based on the explicit text and the "Developmental Scaffolding Matrix" on page 25, target: Pre-K (Ages 4-5) Kindergarten (Ages 5-6) 1st Grade (Ages 6-7) Additionally, this resource is perfectly suited for: Reading Intervention Groups (RTI, Tier 2 & 3 Support): The explicit, multi-sensory approach is ideal for students who need extra support. Special Education: Students with dyslexia or other learning differences will benefit greatly from the systematic and brain-based methodology that avoids the pitfalls of whole-word memorization.

Guided Reading Level N - Nanjing (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Social Studies, Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Science, History, Economics, Grade 2, 3, 4, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments, Lesson Plans
This Guided Reading Book - Nanjing (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: World Cities: Nanjing Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Social Studies (Geography) Primary Topic: Nanjing’s rivers, landmarks, and seasonal changes Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best How Nanjing’s location along the Yangtze River helped it become a travel and trade hub. How a major river can divide a city and lead to bridges being built to connect districts. How landforms and green spaces (like Purple Mountain’s forests) can help keep a city’s air clean and support plant life. How human-built features (the ancient city wall) can follow natural geography like hills and lakes. How climate and seasons change a city’s landscape through spring blossoms, autumn leaf color, and summer shade from “green tunnels.” Learning Goals Students will describe where Nanjing is located and what major river it sits along. Students will explain why bridges were built across the Yangtze River in Nanjing. Students will identify Purple Mountain and explain how its forests help the city. Students will describe how Nanjing’s ancient city wall follows the natural geography of the land. Students will describe one role Xuanwu Lake plays (islands/bridges or collecting rainwater). Students will describe how Nanjing’s humid subtropical climate connects to changes across seasons. Key Vocabulary From the Text districts — parts of a city. subtropical — warm climate, often with lots of humidity. transformation — a big change. fertile — good for plants to grow. geography — land features of a place. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How might rivers and hills help a city grow and change? Comprehension questions: Where does the text say Nanjing is located, and what river runs through it? Comprehension questions: Why were massive bridges built across the Yangtze River in Nanjing? Comprehension questions: What change does the text describe happening in Nanjing during autumn? 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.

How body parts support movement: strong back legs , big feet , and a tail that can help make a steady “tripod” when moving slowly. A joey’s early life: starting very small, climbing into the pouch , staying there, then peeking out for short trips as it grows. Kangaroo habitats and survival: living on open land in Australia (and also New Guinea ), eating plants, and facing challenges like drought and predators. Social behavior: kangaroos gathering in groups called mobs for safety and recognizing neighbors with nose touches and quick sniffs. Learning Goals Students will explain what a marsupial is using details from the text. Students will describe at least two body parts that help kangaroos move and what each part does. Students will retell the steps of a joey’s early growth (from very small to peeking out). Students will identify where kangaroos live and describe what the land is like there. Students will describe why kangaroos gather in mobs and how they recognize one another. Students will identify challenges kangaroos can face in hot, dry places, including drought . Key Vocabulary From the Text marsupial — a mammal whose baby grows in a pouch. pouch — a warm pocket where a baby kangaroo grows. joey — a baby kangaroo. tripod — three-part support that helps balance. drought — a long time with very little rain. 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.

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.

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 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.

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: 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.

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!

Guided Reading Level G - Amazing Inventions (with Lesson Plan)

This Guided Reading Book - Amazing Inventions (Level G) 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: Amazing Inventions Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science/Technology + Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Inventions and how they help people Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): G What This Book Teaches Best Introduces common inventions (wheel, lightbulb, telephone, computer, camera, airplane, refrigerator, clock, robot) and what each one does. Explains how inventions help people in everyday life (moving heavy things, seeing in the dark, connecting over distances, doing work quickly, keeping food cold, telling time, doing chores). Builds understanding of technology as something that changes, with “new things… invented every day to help people.” Supports describing key details from short informational passages paired with clear photos. Learning Goals Identify several inventions named in the book and tell what each helps people do. Describe how a wheel helps move heavy things from place to place. Explain how a lightbulb helps people see when it is dark outside. Tell how a telephone connects people who are far apart. Describe one way computers help people work quickly and what they can do. Explain what the book says about technology changing and new inventions helping people. Key Vocabulary From the Text invention — something made for the first time to help people. electricity — power that runs lights and machines. distances — how far apart places are. refrigerator — a machine that keeps food cold. sensors — parts that help a machine notice what is around it. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What inventions do you use, and how do they help you? Comprehension questions: How do wheels help move heavy things from place to place? Comprehension questions: What does a lightbulb help people do when it is dark outside? Comprehension questions: What does the book say about new technology and how it helps people? 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.
