These worksheets are designed for a younger child, or an older child with processing difficulties, both of whom may need less on a page. These worksheets break learning down into small, bite-sized steps to enable very young learners or those with special needs to succeed. These worksheets are based on my 3-step process: see it, sound it out, and write it. By using the hand, we strengthen the links in the brain that help both reading and spelling. Reading and spelling are two sides of the same coin. Together, both are stronger. Order, Outline and Steps Each blend is introduced aurally. To begin with, the child is asked to colour the picture that starts with a given blend. There are 2 differentiated worksheets for each blend. A further set of worksheets asks children to sort words by their initial blend - there are 2 differentiated worksheets for this activity. Another set gives the child practice writing the blend, providing a multisensory component. We then move into reading and spelling words with a consonant blend and a short vowel sound - words like 'plum' and 'clap'. The next section gives further practice playing with blends and endings - word making. We then put the blends words into sentences and further into short paragraphs. We finish with a game. Who can use these L-Blends Worksheets? Children aged 3 to 6, SEN children of any age if they are suitable for the child's needs. Teachers Parents Home educators - can be used as part of the Reading Made Simple Phonic Reading and Writing Programme liked by home educators.

Instagram Summary and Post Activity Templates The Instagram Summary and Post Activity Templates is an innovative teaching resource that combines the allure of social media to make learning an engaging process. By turning academic content into riveting social media posts, it offers a creative deviation from conventional classroom practices.. These templates enable educators to conduct a range of educational exercises across all subjects, be it a language art lesson or history seminar. This indicates its remarkable flexibility making it an essential tool for any avant-garde teacher. Impactful Instagram Post One intriguing activity enabled by these templates is the "Impactful instagram post" where students are encouraged to symbolically 'snap' significant portions of assigned readings or articles illustrating their understanding or interpretation. This activity stimulates comprehensive evaluation and underlines what students consider vital in their studies. Instagram Story Summary "Instagram Story Summary" is another activity where students develop succinct summaries using four 'snaps'. They create visual illustrations before adding summaries at the back along with supporting textual evidence explaining its relevance. Promoting analytical skills while fostering creativity in presenting data visually. Note: The design lacks specific direction enabling teachers to utilise them as they please; summarising articles, homework readings or even videos — truly adaptable to your unique teaching style! This encourages learners not only summarise but explain why chosen moments are important - great for perspective broadening. The package contains a PDF file that works perfectly with students from grade 6 through 12 but specifically dovetails with those focusing on creative writing under language arts. Digitally shareable via email or LMS makes this equally appropriate for group activities in traditional classroom settings as well as individual assignments for home-based learners. Prepare yourselves for refreshingly different lesson plans with The Instagram Summary and Post Activity Templates; a fusion of social media with education that arouses curiosity and enhances comprehension.

Buy A Car Project: A Practical Guide to Car Ownership for Students For educators and homeschooling parents, it's pivotal to prepare students not just academically, but also for real-life scenarios. One such significant life skill is understanding the intricacies of purchasing and owning a car. This resource— the Buy A Car Project— serves as a practical guide for students to delve into the financial realities and responsibilities tied to car ownership. Objective: The aim is to provide students with a foundational grasp of the car purchasing process. By unpacking the various costs and considerations, students can cultivate an informed perspective. This way, when the time comes for them to make such decisions, they'll be equipped to be mindful and responsible consumers. A Peek Inside the Resource: At its core, this project demystifies the sometimes complex world of consumer math— especially for middle and high school students who might be new to such topics. Glossary: Begins with basic terms linked to car purchases. This ensures students aren't lost in jargon. Real-world Engagement: An activity where students interview an adult about their car-buying experiences. It offers a touch of reality, painting a clearer picture. Researching and Costs: Activities dedicated to understanding how to find a car online and unraveling the costs associated with car ownership in the first five years. Loan Dynamics: Walks students through the mechanics of car loans, helping them interpret auto loan statements and grasp how these loans function. New vs. Used: A comparison to help students weigh the pros and cons of opting for a brand new car versus a pre-owned one. Can You Afford It?: A concluding activity where students get to 'purchase' a car and ascertain if they can manage the financial commitment. Additionally, a self-checking Easel Activity is integrated, ensuring students can gauge their understanding. Flexibility is Key: Understanding that every classroom or homeschool environment is unique, the resource is editable. You can tweak it to align perfectly with your teaching style, objectives, and the specific needs of your students. In essence, the Buy A Car Project isn't just a math activity ; it's a stepping stone to financial literacy and responsibility. Through hands-on tasks and real-world applications, students will gain insights that serve them well beyond the classroom walls.

Dolch Primer Sight Word BINGO - 30+ Bingo Cards, Flashcards & Word Lists
ELA, Language Development, Vocabulary, Kindergarten, Preschool, Flashcards, Worksheets & Printables

This is a bingo game that practices all the Primer high-frequency sight words. Along with that, this resource features a bunch of flash cards that you can use to introduce and practice these words. You can choose to print them with sharp edges or curved ones, though I prefer the curved ones. Otherwise students might hurt themselves on the edges, which is something we'd like to prevent altogether. Now with this resource come a bunch of Bingo sheets. So just print out the flash cards and draw them one by one. The students can now cross the words off from their very own bingo cards. Once they have filled out the entire card, they can yell out the magic word, which is of course BINGO. You csn decide for yourself if you also want to attach a prize to this in order to motivate your students even more. Finally, there are word lists.
