Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders - Part 1 by Phonics Advantage
ELA, Language Development, ESL, Phonics, Literature, Poetry, Grade 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a program that equips students with decoding tools (phonograms, blends, phonics rules, pronunciation rules, word endings and syllable dividing examples) to enable students to become successful, independent readers. Phonics Strategies makes learning to read fun by using diversification to hold the student’s interest with hands-on activities, listening skills, phonics games, phonics poems, flipbooks, and worksheets. Part 1 of Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a 221-page PDF that focuses on 25 Vc phonograms (chunks) and words ending in -le syllables (ble, ple, dle, tle, etc.) Part 1 also introduces Silent E's and uses hands-on activities to experience how a short-vowel Vc chunk becomes a long-vowel phonogram when Silent E is added. There are ten Nonsense Word Challenge Sheets where students practice less common consonant blends and digraphs. The rule of doubling the consonant of a Vc chunk when adding a word ending beginning with a vowel is emphasized throughout the units through examples and worksheets. Students learn how recognizing Vc chunks can help them to divide longer words into syllables. The PDF zip-file includes 5 Chunk Reviews that can be used as assessment tools; Mentor Notes, tips and suggestions; 5 Phonogram Memory/Match Games; 5 Parent Letters (for using materials as homework); Pronunciation Rules (Soft C, Double Vowels, ir-er-ur); Answer Keys; and Listening Skills challenges. The Phonics Strategies series are a mixture of serious phonics concepts and educational fun.

This no-prep short fantasy story with analysis activities is perfect for a 1-2 day sub plan or as an introduction to a larger unit on story-genre or creative writing. Richard Post’s “The Lost Room” will appropriately introduce the elements of fantasy storytelling to your students, and the included analysis questions and response essay assignment are designed to build strong analysis and writing skills. Planning a week-long unit around this resource could not be easier! Start by handing out the story and analysis questions to your students and let them read the story and answer the questions (or read the story aloud and answer the questions as a discussion - your choice!). Once you feel your students are ready for their understanding of the story to be assessed, hand out the literary analysis essay assignment. The essay's prompt is based upon response questions and the worksheet also includes literary analysis writing tips, a peer review checklist, and Common Core-aligned rubric for straightforward grading. Your download includes the following: - The short fantasy narrative "The Lost Room," by Richard Post (written exclusively for The Language of Educational Art) - NINE accompanying response questions (w/ answer key) designed to further your students' understanding of the structure and thematic concepts found in fantasy stories - A self-checking Easel activity version of the analysis questions - A literary analysis essay assignment that builds on students' understanding of "The Lost Room" and how fantasy narratives are structured (40 points - tied to FOUR Common Core Standards) SYNOPSIS OF ‘THE LOST ROOM’: "In Benjamin’s childhood home there was a small room and in that small room was a small door and beyond that small door was the Lost Room." Thus begins Richard Post's allegory about the child Benjamin and the tall wizard Appa Drepa, who guides Benjamin on his journey from the Lost Room to the Tree of Knowledge, the evil Determinator, and the Gold Key to the One Room. Appropriate for all ages, middle and high school students will be challenged by the "The Lost Room's" symbolism and themes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Post came late to writing YA literature, but he has been a storyteller and raconteur his entire life. When he’s not writing short stories for The Language of Educational Art, he enjoys fishing for rock bass on Higgins Lake, hunting pheasants on the farms of mid-Michigan, bottling sun pickles (here's his famous recipe ), hosting “whoopie” parties for his grandchildren, and playing cribbage. He lives with his wife Beverly in St. Louis, Michigan and Orange Beach, Alabama. Although this resource can be fitted for any secondary Language Arts classroom, it has been carefully designed to work best in grades 9 through 12.

The Moral of the Story: Income Inequality in Familiar Tales: An Integrated ELA and Social Studies Lesson

The Moral of the Story: Income Inequality in Familiar Tales: An Integrated ELA and Social Studies Lesson
Social Studies, Life Studies, ELA, Economics, Finance, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Literature, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

This lesson introduces middle school students to the basic ideas of capitalism and income inequality using familiar stories as reference points. Students will take notes on a handout and consider whether they think it's fair that the 26 richest people on earth have as much money as 3.8 billion other people. They will learn about the moral of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: Dickens thinks Scrooge is too greedy and that he should share his wealth with others- especially his hard-working clerk, Bob Cratchit. Next, they discover the message in the popular fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk: one could argue the original author of this tale thinks Jack and his mom should not be living in poverty while the giant has piles of gold. Then, they choose a story or novel of their own that addresses these issues and untangle that author’s specific message. Finally, they complete a personal reflection of what they have learned and what they think about equality in society. There are no wrong answers here- some students may think changes should be made, while others may think our system is working well. This is a developmentally-appropriate way to start a discussion about social issues including income inequality, wealth hoarding, progressive taxation, basic income, human rights, and more. It is also a good way to review parts of a story: plot, characters, moral, and theme. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for students in the middle years (5-9) and can be used in a social studies or language arts class.
