Less than $5 Elementary School Reading Resources

6 worksheets for children to practice blending and reading CVC words with words broken down into each individual sound and sentences broken down into each word.

Why do you need this?

Breaking down words into individual sounds helps children understand phonics principles and the relationship between letters and sounds. This approach supports early reading development by teaching children to decode words systematically. Breaking words into individual sounds helps develop phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. This foundational skill is crucial for successful reading and spelling.

Worksheets with words and sentences broken down into individual sounds provide opportunities for students to practice blending sounds together to form words. This skill is essential for fluent reading and helps children become more confident readers.

How and when might you use this?

These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways:

· During small group phonics sessions

· Independent work stations or literacy centers

· Homework practice

· Guided reading groups

· Morning work

· Reading interventions for children who need additional support

· Whole class instruction

Make your own book template! Kids love writing their own stories. This is an easy to print document that students can put together themselves to make their own book. Working on vocabulary or spelling words? Have students copy them at the beginning of the book and then use them throughout the story. Have students share their own stories with others in the class to encourage reading skills. All you need to do is print out a copy for each student, and let their own imagination soar.

This is a printable retelling of the classic "Gingerbread Man" story, that can be used on felt boards or flannel boards. Simply cut out the illustrations and glue flannel or velcro to the back. (You may want to laminate your illustrations so that they are more durable).

A written story is included so that you can read along as you put the illustrations on your flannel board.

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.

Teaching students how to track words from left to right and use one-to-one correspondence is the first step in teaching them to read. By providing them with the ability to read the correct number of words on a page, we are preventing omissions and additions to sentences. This is the first step you should be taking with non-readers.

This booklet is Halloween Themed and includes 10 pages with follow-along text. Each page works with color identification and the booklet includes a color guide to help the students with color word recognition. Perfect for small group activities and a chance at word tracking!

Apple fun with a decodable twist! Great reading center or small group hands on practice.

Young learners can practice CVC words while working on color words with this fun "Apples" book. High frequency words align with Unit 1 of Benchmark Advance - Florida.

Happy fall!
