Once children can recognize and understand individual sight words in print, they are ready to use them to build sentences. This is the exciting next step in the reading process and, for many children, the moment when they say, “I’m really reading!” The following scrambled sentences build upon sight word knowledge and are designed to help children learn—and demonstrate—sentence sense by putting individual words into the correct order so each sentence makes sense. The sight words used in these sentences follow the order in which they have been introduced. The sentences can be used in a number of ways, depending on each child’s developmental level. First, encourage the child to look for helpful sentence-sense clues, such as a capitalized word that would indicate the beginning of the sentence and a word with punctuation that would indicate the end of the sentence. Then, have the child say all the words aloud, starting with the capitalized word and ending with the punctuated word. Ask the child if what he or she said aloud makes sense, and, if necessary, encourage him or her to rearrange the “middle” words around while saying them aloud until they are in the correct order. Then, have the child write the unscrambled sentence on the line provided. You may want to encourage the child to write the sentence’s sight words in different-colored crayons or markers, or to use the sight word flash cards to find the matching words used in the sentence. You may also want to have the child write the unscrambled sentence on a separate sheet of paper and cut it apart into individual words. Then, using the child’s hand-written unscrambled sentence in the worksheet as a model, have him or her reassemble the cut-apart words into the sentence. This activity works well as a self- checking review. Or have the child distribute the cut-apart words to other children, who can then reassemble them in the correct order. An activity of this type can also be used with sentences that the children dictate or write themselves on a separate sheet of paper. Extending this activity to sentences that children compose themselves increases their level of engagement and provides an opportunity for individualizing their learning.

Cloze sentences provide young learners an opportunity to use words in context and to gain a better understanding of sentence sense. Use the cloze sentences on the following pages for children to practice selecting the correct word from the word boxes to complete each sentence.

To extend the activity, have children create their own sentences with a missing word. The sentences can also be copied on a separate sheet of paper, cut apart, and reconstructed for sentence sense practice.

This deck includes the FIFTH TEN OF FRY'S INSTANT WORDS:

This deck of 50 CARDS will allow students to be successful in recognizing the FIFTH TEN of Fry's FIRST HUNDRED Instant Words.

CLEAR AUDIO on each card will say the word. Students will SELECT the correct word from a SET OF THREE to move on to the next card.

I use this deck as a WARM-UP in our virtual environment. By placing a link in the chat or embedding the cards into our Pear Deck, students can practice for a few minutes at the beginning of each class.

DATA will show if students are improving or have mastered their RECEPTIVE RECOGNITION of the words. The next step would be to assess whether the student can recall the word from memory.

50 cards with clear audio that plays automatically and three words to choose from.

Immediate FEEDBACK is provided, and students will be automatically directed to the next card once the correct answer has been chosen.

Are you looking for a fun, interactive, student-led activity/ assessment for the end of Homeless Bird by Deborah Whelan?

This resource contains two different packets of Socratic Seminar packets- packet A and packet B. Each packet contains three different discussion questions that require students to answer and provide two quotes from the text to back up their answers. Students are also required to come up with three additional questions they will ask if there’s time in their seminar. Finally, the packet has a page where each student will monitor a partner in the opposite seminar. They will make a check each time their partner speaks, and paraphrase meaningful comments their partner makes. The file also contains a rubric for you to use while your students are discussing!

When you print out the file, you’ll see packet A on the top half of the sheet, packet B on the bottom half, and then the rubric as the last page of the file. Remove the rubric and print one out for each of your students. Copy the rest of the pages, cut them in half, and staple them. Each student will receive one half-sheet booklet; packet A or packet B.

Give your students adequate time to plan for their Seminar! I usually give them a full class period (40 minutes for me), but you could have them do it for homework, or over the course of a few days. The day of the Seminar, you’ll assign partners with opposite packets. Let A discuss for as long as they need (usually 25 to 30-ish minutes for me!), then flip-flop your circles and have B discuss afterwards.

My students LOVE Socratic Seminars! I have found the fishbowl discussion format works much better when you give each group three different questions so you don’t hear the same discussion two times, which is how this product is set up. I have used Socratic Seminars in small literature circle groups, as well as with the whole class at once. Please ask if you have questions!

With a variety of activities, this resource helps children recognize and label different rooms in a house, identify household items that belong in those rooms, as well as identifying which house items have certain functions.

This resource includes different backgrounds of various rooms in a house, providing a visual and interactive way for children to practice speaking skills.

Designed to be easy to use, this resource provides examples of how to use the activities as I use them with my son and offers a fun and interactive way for children to practice speech skills related to household items and rooms in a house. It's a valuable tool for speech therapy sessions, homeschooling, or at-home practice.
