FICHES DE LECTURE/READING ASSESSMENT/BENCHMARK | COMPLEX SOUND/SONS (FRENCH)

By French Made Fun!

My "big" kids in grades 5 and 6 have been struggling with their French sounds - both basic and complex - and we're backtracking! However, because of their unique needs, I was struggling to find texts at their level that featured these complex sounds - in excess - for them to practice, see in real life and to work with them in guided readings or 1:1. I was finding myself scouring my shelves for books that had ample opportunities for them to see and practice a certain sound and wasn't having success; so I decided to create texts that hone in on specific sound formations they're struggling with, have never properly learned, or have forgotten. They are texts which feature vocabulary at the grade 5-6 instructional level.

I was also tired of running back and forth from my literacy lab to find reading records and wanted to have them printable from my classroom. If you're in a similar boat, this is the product for you!

This collection features 44 pages of resources:

- 12 texts (student version to be printed and used in small groups or 1:1)

- 12 texts (teachable version with sounds highlighted, or for differentiated instruction)

- 12 "fiches" to use as a fiche d'observation/fiche d'évaluation en littératie in a 1:1 setting featuring columns you're used to seeing (Erreurs, autocorrections, S | St | V strategies, Fluidité, Date, Nom de l'évaluateur et nom de l'élève). I've also provided you with a handy accuracy calculator so you don't need to pull out your calculator for each individual text. Circle the number of errors and you'll be given their accuracy percentage. Each text features comprehension questions.

The sounds and textual features you'll see featured in these series of texts include:

  • -ais, -ait, -aient, -ent, -ment, -ant, -ante (suffixes)
  • -i, -ui, -ier, -ierre, -air, -ien, -ain, -oi, -ieu, -in, -ie (bases et suffixes)
  • -i, -ie, ié -is, -it, -eille, -ay, -oi , -io (bases et suffixes)
  • -ai, -ou, -eu, -oi, -io, -ui, -ue, -eau, -ie (bases et suffixes)
  • les sons muets: -t, -s, -d, -ent, h, -c (suffixes - sauf le "h")
  • apostrophes et traits d’union
  • -e muet et non-muet (suffixes)
  • Adjectifs masculins, féminins et pluriels (suffixes)

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

Gaza Diary: Shadow of Hope - Realistic Fiction

By Mark Holmes

This story is also available as part of an eight story ebook, "Young Voices: Eight Short Stories of Courage & Resilience."

Aisha, a 13-year-old girl living in Gaza city, chronicles her experiences through a diary during a period of intense conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. As bombings, power outages, water shortages, and infrastructure damage disrupt daily life, Aisha describes her fears for her family's safety and her disrupted education. She finds resilience through community support and small acts of normalcy like playing games with friends. Temporary ceasefires provide glimpses of peace amid the violence. But tensions frequently boil over into clashes and protests at the border, unleashing new rounds of bombardment. Aisha conveys the mental and physical toll of living through endless cycles of war and deprivation in Gaza. Yet she retains hope for justice and freedom in the future, fueled by the strength of her community. Throughout her diary, Aisha gives an intimate account of what it's like to come of age in Gaza against a backdrop of conflict and hardship.
