These activity mats (ON-OU-AN-EN) were designed with the K-3 teacher in mind. As you introduce new sounds to your Kindergarten/Grade One students, you can use the image pages for students to show sound recognition and phonemic awareness before they are able to identify letters/graphemes. As students grow in confidence, you can add the element of identifying CV sounds or VC sounds containing the target sound. Each mat has 6 cards that will contain the target sound. Students choose the card they think is the correct one, and attach the card to the mat with Velcro dots. The third and final level is identifying the target sound inside a word. Students will need to decode sounds to correctly determine the 6 matching cards that go on the mat. This resource will grow with your students as their abilities grow.

How to prepare this resource:

Make a copy of each page and laminate the page

Cut out the activity mat (the part on the left side of the page) and the activity cards (12 cards per mat)

Insert all the materials into a plastic bag, zipper pouch, or activity basket and you have a brand new independent work station for your Science of Reading lesson!

I was getting frustrated trying to find texts to support my biodiversity unit, and was finding my students could truly only find pertinent, engaging information by researching. What I had at my disposition was outdated; or didn't particularly touch on diversity, or was overly focused on specific species of animals... It simply wasn't cutting it. I wanted to teach with a cross-curricular approach and integrate biodiversity-themed readings in with my language arts program. Ta-Da!

These texts can also be used as mentor texts when teaching your informative or research report unit; and they can also be used as guided readings with small groups, or as a whole group choral reading. No more finding enough copies of books for your crew: simply print and go.

This 40-page resource is the biodiversity informative text holy grail and contains 13 different texts for students to explore and discover topics relating to diversity. The vocabulary is perfectly at the level of my 5th and 6th graders, and many texts come accompanied by diagrams, text boxes, images and fun details to keep them engaged and interested in the material. Each of them come with ample comprehension questions (multiple choice, true or false, short answer, long answer - and questions with varying levels of complexity) as well as a thorough and detailed answer key providing you with easy assessment.

You'll find the following titles in this crypt of reading comprehensions:

1. Les mammifères (1) - Slightly simpler terms, vocabulary and questions
2. Les mammifères (2) - Slightly more complex terms, vocabulary and questions
3. Les reptiles (1) - Slightly simpler terms, vocabulary and questions
4. Les reptiles (2) - Slightly more complex terms, vocabulary and questions
5. La migration
6. Les arbres
7. L'hibernation: Une stratégie de survie
8. La grande barrière de corail
9. Les fossiles: Un aperçu du passé
10. Les champignons
11. La fascinante vie des oiseaux
12. Les amphibiens
13. Les poissons

I work hard to create documents that simply work for me in my classroom, and I hope they serve the same purpose for you in yours.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
