1st Grade Find and trace the tiny HMH High-frequency and Decodable Words

By Ms Garcia Store

Unlock the world of vocabulary with this exceptional resource designed to reinforce the mastery of 450 first-grade HMH high-frequency words and decodable high-frequency words. Dive into a captivating journey as your students explore the hidden treasures of language within delightful illustrations. With 36 weeks of engaging content, this resource guarantees an enriching learning experience.

Equipped with a magnifying glass, students will embark on a thrilling word hunt, uncovering the tiny HMH week words ingeniously concealed within captivating animal pictures. They will skillfully circle or line these hidden gems and refine their writing skills by tracing the dotted words in the designated boxes. Encourage their creativity as they craft meaningful sentences using one or several words of the week, and watch their artistic flair come to life as they color the accompanying drawings.

There is no better way to strengthen vocabulary acquisition than by actively engaging with the written word. Through close attention to word formation and practice, students will develop a deeper understanding of language, enhancing their overall literacy skills.

Don't miss this unparalleled opportunity to immerse your students in an adventure that fosters word recognition, writing proficiency, and creative expression. Let their imagination soar as they embark on this transformative language-learning journey.

There are two different resources available:

'Find and write' resource: Watch your students embark on an exciting word-hunting adventure as they search for hidden HMH week words within captivating animal pictures. Equipped with a magnifying glass, they'll uncover these tiny words and skillfully write them in the designated boxes. Encourage their creativity by inviting them to craft unique sentences using the week's words and bring the illustrations to life with their own colorful touches.
'Find, circle, and trace' resource: Ignite curiosity and engagement as your students set off on a thrilling quest to locate hidden HMH week words in charming animal illustrations. Armed with a magnifying glass, they'll circle or underline the discovered words and develop their tracing skills as they carefully trace the dotted words in the provided boxes. Just like the other resource, they'll have the opportunity to express their creativity by crafting meaningful sentences using the week's words and adding vibrant colors to the artwork.

Both products can be purchased separately, but also together for a lower price.

Differentiation:

For children with greater ease when it comes to tracing the hidden words, I'd use the "Find and write" resource, while for the rest, I would opt for the "Find, circle, and trace" resource.

You will find three PDF files with three different font sizes of the hidden words for children with problems seeing words due to their visual ability. Use the one that suits each child or your group best. The two smaller ones will require the use of a magnifying glass, but most will be able to read the larger one without using it.

I hope your students enjoy this very motivating activity. Let me know in your comments.

"The Napping House" Literacy Integration Lesson Plan

By Lara Hocheiser

Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10
List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story
Story script to read along with The Napping House
Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities
The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

Phonemic Awareness Cards R-Controlled Vowels

By K3 Homeschool Foundations

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir

-R-controlled vowel words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

Winter Adapted Books (4 Interactive & adaptive books matching, clothing, & more

By Until the Pieces Fit

Adaptive Books with a theme of winter cover fun topics, such as colors, activities, and clothing. These books require some prep work; however, once made, you can use them year after year!

These adaptive books are created with various students in mind, as our classrooms can be diverse! I have also found even my most reluctant readers are more eager to participate in learning activities when I pull out interactive activities such as these books. While the books have eight icons to use as choices, you can adapt by providing less when reading and asking follow-up questions.

Book 1: Wintertime Fun

Students will listen to a short story using repetitive text paired with actions. The sentence will read, "In the winter, I like to...". After reading the sentences, have students select the correct action: sledding, ice hockey, snow angels, snowboarding, riding a ski lift, snowy nights, ice skating & building a snowman.

Book 2: Colorful Winter

Students will listen to a story with repetitive text ("I see a") and identify the item. The items are focused on winter items. An excellent book for practicing color recognition.

Book 3: Clothing we wear

I have provided two levels with a focus on the clothing we wear. The first level is supported with a corresponding picture so students can match the items. The second level is only words.

Book 4: Snow Day

This short story concerns the school being called off due to too much snow. There are ten interactive pages in this book.

Do you love adaptive books & want a lot of options for your students? Then, check out my growing bundle! Now is the time to grab this bundle, as I am making many additional sets that will be included!

Adapted books of Rainforest Animals for Special Education

By Until the Pieces Fit

Interactive Adaptive Books, themed around rainforest animals. These books are designed to cater to diverse learning needs while immersing readers in the wonders of the rainforest ecosystem. Featuring a collection of your favorite rainforest animals - the sloth, butterfly, hummingbird, parrot, jaguar, tree frog, tapir, and capybara - each book promises a rich and engaging learning experience.

Tiered Supports for Every Learner: Our Interactive Adaptive Books are thoughtfully crafted to accommodate learners of all levels. Each book is structured with tiered supports, ensuring that every reader, from beginners to more advanced learners, can find their perfect level of engagement. This approach fosters inclusivity and provides an opportunity for learners to progress at their own pace.

Book 1 - Exploring the Rainforest Animals: This book is not adaptive however as you turn the pages, you'll discover captivating details about the animals that call the rainforest home. With each page, young readers will expand their knowledge and appreciation for these incredible creatures.

Book 2 - Interactive Comprehension: This book contains 8 icons, colorful pages with simple sentences including animals and their action. Example: I see a tapir rooting for food.

Book 3 - Visual Support & Statements: In this version, the focus is on visual learning and language development. The book contains a selection of 8 color icons representing the rainforest animals. The low-ink design ensures easy and economical printing. Every page features both a visually appealing icon and an "I see" statement, encouraging readers to connect the visuals with the corresponding animals. This book is an ideal resource for fostering early language skills while immersing children in the beauty of the rainforest.

Book 4 - Developing Independence: This book contains 8 color icons which students will match to the "I see" statement on each page. No visual supports are provided for this book which is an excellent way to determine if students recognize the animals without extra support. I have used low ink for quick and easy printing.

While these books require a bit of preparation – from printing to velcro attachment and binding – the effort is well worth it. Once assembled, these versatile resources can be used year after year, making learning about rainforest animals a timeless adventure. For inquiries or further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out at untilthepiecesfit2@gmail.com. Immerse young learners in the captivating world of the rainforest and watch their curiosity and knowledge bloom.

Farm Animals Adapted Books (Interactive identify sounds, I see, positional)

By Until the Pieces Fit

Do your students love farm animals? They will love these adaptive books featuring 8 different farm animals.

Book 1: Students will select the correct animal and place them in the correct place using positional words (in front, on, beside etc.). This book uses the most color to make the positional placement of the animals more exciting.

Book 2: Read to your students making animal noises! What animal says "oink, oink", or "cluck, cluck". Students will use the interactive pieces to select the correct anima.

Book 3: I see a " farm animal". Students will see the animal and match using the interactive pieces.

Boom Cards! It is free to set up a boom account & your students will love them. I find them rewarding and enjoyed even by my most reluctant learners. I am including 2 Boom cards (I see & animal noises).

*Books 2 & 3 use minimal color to save on your printer! A helpful hint that I learned while obtaining my masters - HP has a printer program which ships color & BW cartridges for a minimal cost each month!
