Less than $5 Elementary School Reading Google Apps

Are you looking for an introduction lesson for teaching main idea? Are your students struggling with main idea and supporting details or just Listening skills in general?  The secret to getting the main idea is to teach the student to identify the topic, and then teach the student to identify what the purpose of the narrative was (Entertain/ Inform/ Persuade/ Instruct).

This is A 36 card/slide Lesson with 36 multiple choice prompts and 36 open-ended prompts which allow you to determine if the student can grasp the main idea. Narratives get progressively more complex as the student moves through the cards. A 4 page PDF assessment in included.

The cards work well with any students grades 6-10 or best when used with students who have mild cognitive delays yet basic language skills. An independent lesson will take about 30 minutes however if you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill 60 minutes with breaks in between for group discussion.

Do your students need Morning Meeting ideas? Using different Morning Meeting ideas can lead to tremendous growth academically and socially. The fun Morning Meeting questions can be utilized along with your greeting and other activities.  The spring Morning Meeting questions should be used during the month of March with your students but could be used during other months too. 

There are Mardi Gras questions, St. Patrick Days questions, Women's History questions, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing questions to celebrate the different holidays in March. All of the questions are on Google Slides that can be used every morning during your Morning Meeting routine. All you have to do is bring up the next Google Slide each morning for that day. There are 20 EDITABLE and DIVERSE slides just for the month of March! 

Students will create connections and develop deep discussions with the questions.  Therefore, the skills they are learning during Morning Meeting will lead to connections within their reading texts. Students who practice those skills outside of reading will most likely utilize those same skills while reading. 

Additionally, the March Question of The Day will create deep relationships between you and your students! If you have my other Morning Meeting Slides than you understand how powerful these questions can be!  

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners or to assign to your students’ laptops. You could assign one or more slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

Kindergarten High Frequency Word Class Benchmark Assessment

Efficient High-Frequency Word Recognition Benchmarking with Google Sheets™

These words are taught within the EL Education Skills Block Lessons for first grade. Duplicate words have been removed with the first occurrence of the word remaining for a total of 44 words per probe. Words appear in in the order they are taught.

This all-in-one Google Sheets™ workbook is designed to help you benchmark high-frequency word recall for up to 40 students, six times a year! With individual tabs for each student, you can easily track progress and analyze data for your entire class or caseload, making it easy to create accurate IEP goals and share data with parents or administrators. The workbook even features automatic tracking of missed words for targeted practice, and student and class average or median graphs to demonstrate progress throughout the year.

What is included in the Google Sheets™ workbook:

• CLASS DATA SHEET: A sheet displaying the scores for your entire class across six reporting periods, with conditional formatting to highlight students in the low or high range. You can use filters to identify students in need of word recall intervention.
• CLASS AVERAGE AND MEDIAN GRAPHS: Two graphs that show the overall average and median growth across the six reporting periods, with a trend line to demonstrate whether student high-frequency word recall is increasing or decreasing.
• ASSESSOR PROBES: Each student (up to 40) will have a tab within the workbook with six assessments per tab. Simply check the missed words to calculate words read correctly. Missed words are also tracked and added to the "Words to Practice" box and the student graph!
• STUDENT PROBES: Two versions (horizontal and vertical) of the student probe can be printed right from the workbook! Font type and size can be adjusted to meet your needs!
• STUDENT DATA: Each student has a separate tab with a data sheet that includes a graph demonstrating progress and a list of missed words for each reporting period. This makes it easy to share student progress with parents or create targeted intervention resources!

This is a virtual escape room to complete with your students after reading Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Students will be answering comprehension questions about the story and also having to fill in the blanks for some sight/spelling words. Students could complete this in groups or as individuals.

I would recommend giving students 30 minutes to complete this escape room and displaying that timer in your classroom or on your screen somehow. The only things students will need are a device and maybe a whiteboard or paper for taking notes while they complete the escape room. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Plearn for supplying the Lorax Clip Art. Go check out Plearn’s Store!
