This is a great sheet for following directions and coming up with a strategy to follow those directions. It checks reading comprehension and knowing left and right as well. I use it with 6th graders to show how important carefully following directions can be. It could easily be used with younger grades or possibly older grades as well.

Spring short vowel mini set - Included is one of each of the activities featuring short a.

Students will write and wipe or use manipulative letters. Students will build letters using flower petals, tap out sounds with Mr. Frog, and slowly talk with Mr. Turtle. Turtle and Frog are ready to be printed and attached to popsicle sticks for hopping / walking along each word. Use them again and again in your small groups or centers.

Turtle Talk

Materials - Picture cards, turtle

Directions - 

We will be talking very slowly like a turtle!  We call this turtle talk.  Look at the picture.  What is it?  Say the word slowly.  Tap out every sound you hear.  Write the letters on the card.  Use your turtle to walk and turtle talk the word you made!   

Flower Building

Use the letters on each flower to build words. Each set has 3 pages to provide appropriate support for your students. You will have one blank page, one with the medial sound written, and one with word families.

Hop along with MR. Frog then find a matching picture

I hope you like my sample set featuring short vowel a. I have an extended packet available for purchase that includes all short vowel sounds, and manipulative letters for a total of 88 words in each set.

Spring Short Vowel CVC - Word Blending, Segmenting & Building

Exceptional learners such as English language learners will benefit tremendously from previewing the text prior to starting a nonfiction text. By activating prior knowledge, zooming in to titles and subheadings, and analyzing pictures they will spend quality time building context before reading.

This product contains three pages:

• Previewing the text anchor chart reference sheet so students can refer back when needed
• Previewing the text graphic organizer
• Previewing the text sentence starters

Print these fun bookmarks on colored or white cardstock and provide them to your students. The goal is to challenge the students to read and keep up with the number of books they read. Once they have finished a book, they are to color it to reflect they have finished the book.

You may also choose to laminate and them and have them use a permanent marker to cross out the emoji.

Getting out and exploring the colors and textures of fall is a great introduction to nature for all students! With our fall scavenger hunt have adventures in nature and have fun practicing counting to five and identifying colors.

After a decade of research and extensive classroom testing, the Vocabulary Magic™ team is excited to share this engaging and highly effective strategy!

Picture Pages was developed to address 8 key elements:

1. Provide students with the opportunity to develop and work in small learning communities.
2. Increased student-to-student opportunities for listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a sheltered environment.
3. The availability of relevant, interesting pictures and concise definitions that support student understanding and retention of new vocabulary.
4. Structured opportunities that help students to relate to new words and allow for discussion about prior knowledge/life experiences.
5. The availability of sentence stems and note-taking techniques that support speaking, writing, and summarizing in complete sentences.
6. A support system to encourage students to take academic risks and listen to different points of view.
7. The availability of timely feedback followed by an opportunity for self-correction.
8. Continued opportunities for students to engage with newly learned vocabulary in stories and game-like extension activities.

Picture Pages taps into the power of imagery, conversation, collaboration, and play to ensure all students (including English Language Learners) build-essential language skills. Intentionally teaching carefully selected high-utility words that appear frequently in the text across multiple content areas will boost student confidence, reading comprehension, and fluency. Each Picture Page introduces nine new words and is used with our researched “5-Step Process”. The new words are then presented in an intriguing, illustrated story, and accompanying activity pages (both printable and electronically on Google Slides). See the delight on your student’s faces as they master challenging vocabulary and watch their confidence soar!

Have you ever wished students in the prereading and early reading stage could have opportunities to be fluent and build automaticity? How can students who barely know letter names and sounds become fluent? Ready Reads are just what you are looking for.

Ready Reads are warm up activities for the eyes and the brain and can support any curriculum. Ready Read charts cumulatively follow the scope and sequence of UFLI and support the Science of Reading. Use these in small group, whole group on the projector, in partners for accountability, or for students to whisper read to themselves. They can easily be adapted in an I read, We read, You read or Your turn, My turn format. Ready Reads can be used for students to say the letter name and/or the letter sound practicing grapheme recognition as well as phoneme recall. For pre-readers and early readers alike, this activity builds the left to right progression of reading and builds fluency for letters and concepts already learned. This is the building block for automaticity and fluent reading.
