Phonics for Kindergarten and First Grade

By Science and STEAM Team

This phonics book was made with kindergarteners and first graders in mind.

The sounds included are short vowel (cvc), long vowel (cvc silent e), common blends, and digraphs.

Use this journal as you teach different sounds.

After instructing the students have them use the journal to record words that they find while reading. This is particularly good if you use phonics readers / decodable readers. I partner my students up and have them partner read from the reader and record any words that they find at the end of each

page they are reading. This gets the students reading, saying, and discussing the words together! What better practice than that!

    • The Technological Optimist
    • The Economic Pragmatist
    • The Frontline Youth (a student living in Kiribati)

    • Analyze author's craft, purpose, and structure.
    • Synthesize information and evaluate evidence.

    • Develop their own informed opinions.
  • Alignment with Curriculum: This resource integrates with many Grade 6 literacy outcomes and climate change units. It was paritcularly aimed at the Alberta curriciulum.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

  • Promotes Critical Thinking: Students learn to analyze different viewpoints, evaluate evidence, and form their own conclusions.
  • Encourages Empathy and Global Awareness: By exploring diverse perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding of how climate change impacts people around the world.
  • Offers Flexibility: The resource can be adapted for individual work, small group activities, or whole-class discussions.
  • Saves You Time: The ready-to-use letters, video, and assignments make it easy to implement this resource in your classroom.

Spark meaningful conversations about climate change and empower your students to become informed, engaged global citizens!

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 1

By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace

A few words on guided reading

Guided reading involves small-group instruction where a teacher aids each reader in developing strategies for effectively processing new texts that progressively increase in difficulty. In guided reading, students in a small group read a text chosen by you that matches their instructional reading level. You deliver instruction throughout the lesson to help students develop their mental frameworks of strategies for handling progressively difficult texts. Through guided reading, learners discover how to participate in each aspect of the reading process and utilize that literacy skill across all teaching situations.

This ebook offers a complete guided reading lesson plan for first-grade students. It is inspired by the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr., though any other picture book may also be utilized. The length of the lesson is around 30 minutes, though it may change based on class size.

Stratégies couvertes dans cette ressource de 38 pages :
