6 worksheets in which children need to circle the picture that begins with a given letter.

Why do you need this?

Recognizing beginning sounds lays the groundwork for reading skills. These worksheets give students practice isolating and identifying initial phonemes through interactive activities.

Connecting sounds to letters and pictures reinforces phonetic awareness. With pictures of things like food, animals, and vehicles, children apply knowledge to familiar vocabulary.

How and when might you use this?

Each box focuses on a target starting sound, with a bold letter at the top for reference. Students look at 4 different illustrations and circle any pictures that start with that letter's sound. For example, when the target is "B", learners will circle the banana. This simple yet effective exercise serves as a foundational step in phonics instruction.

Use them for individual practice or small group phonics instruction.

Meaningful vocabulary:

I created these worksheets to allow students to use to context clues to find the meaning of unknown words. Students will find the given words within the novel "A Christmas Carol" and record the sentence in which the word can be found. Page numbers are provided to help with locating words. (Stave 2-5)

Students have the option to discuss the meaning of the words. They can either look up the meaning of the word or use context clues to define the words on their own.

I had the students complete these sheets after reading the section of the book, therefore the page numbers were helpful.

What's included:

• Worksheets for each of the five staves of "A Christmas Carol".

How is the product useful:

• Low prep for teacher.
• Page numbers guide students to finding the words within the text.

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
