French Decodable texts that align with the Science of Reading are a NO PREP printable activity for the K-2 French classroom. Students practice endoding and decoding skills and build confidence in reading.

Make a few copies of each text and insert into clear pockets to create a quick and easy reading centre; arrange a table with four copies to create a quiet reading group; use one-on-one with your students to assess reading levels, to gain insights to their decoding skills, and to inform your upcoming lesson plans. Ask students to highlight the key sound of each text and find the words all while having fun with their classmates. Whatever way you choose to use this resource, I am so grateful that you have given this item a try!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Texts are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Science of Reading:

These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of baseball cards, women in sports, math in sports, and finally working to create a statistical infographic on an athlete and a baseball card.

Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.

Mathematically-enriched students can be a challenge - and they crave independent, critical-thinking tasks that will allow them to explore the same content as their peers, but at a higher level. Your enriched students can explore any or all activities in this unit while their peers work through concepts they likely already understood before you started teaching it. You can then refocus your energy on a smaller group of students and make some progress! You've got this!

In this document, you'll discover 37 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways. I cover a lot of ground in this resource:

• Fractions: Comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.
• Decimals: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimal numbers.
• Percentages: Calculating percentages, converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions.
• Ratios: Calculating and comparing ratios.
• Statistics: Collecting, organizing, and interpreting statistical data including mean, median, mode, range, and frequency distribution.
• Graphs and Charts: Creating and interpreting bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, and histograms.
• Measurement: Converting between different units of measurement, including metric and imperial units.
• Geometry: Identifying and working with angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and geometric shapes in sports contexts.
• Input-Output Charts: Creating and interpreting input-output charts.
• Place Value: Understanding place value with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.
• Data Analysis: Analyzing data sets, identifying trends, making predictions, and drawing conclusions.
• Financial Literacy: Understanding the costs associated with sports activities, including ticket prices, stadium construction costs, and budgeting for sports teams.

You'll find:

• 4 Reading Comprehension Passages (with questions and answer keys)

• 10 pages of challenging math problems (including their answer keys)

• 2 projects:

• "Make your own baseball card" (Includes instructions and a template)

• "Infographic on an athlete" (Includes instructions, a template for final infographic, a rubric, and activities to promote independent research)

This is the second of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Here's another on constellations you and your students might enjoy!

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

Sight Word Mazes are a fun, no prep way to reinforce sight word recognition and automaticity. Sight words make up more than 50% of general texts and are a vital part of reading success.

This file contains 41 Sight Word Mazes - one for each of the words on the Dolch 1st grade list. Students follow along the path by coloring in each shape with the target sight word. They can also use stickers or paint daubers to mark the path. I keep a reusable set of Sight Word Mazes in plastic sheet protectors so they are always available for use….students use a dry erase marker and erase when they are done.

These worksheets are great for your whole class, fast finishers or students needing a little extra practice. They can be a great addition to morning work, literacy centers, homework or summer review packets.
