Functional Literacy Sight Word Writing & coloring for Special Education & K - 2
By Exceptional Education CA
This Match-Select-Name writing unit contains fluency support activities directly linked to the Match-Select-Name basketball reading unit. The Match-Select-Name method was presented by L. Oelwein. There has been a significant amount of research done on the efficacy of this method. It is shown to be beneficial for students with exceptionalities including Down’s Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder who are struggling to learn to read using phonics.
There are four stages in the method:
1 - Acquisition (Matching, Selecting, Naming)
2 - Fluency (Practice and Review)
3 - Transfer (Use of new fonts and coloured paper)
4 - Generalization (Ability to read the words in any context/format)
Literacy Skill Development for Students with Special Learning Needs, p. 51. Broun, L.
The resources included in this unit support the fluency stage for the 24 words in the set. The sight words in this set are from the Pre-primer and Primer Dolch word lists. You will find a writing sheet for each word, a colouring sheet for each word, and a board game using all 24 words.

The Scarlet Letter Pre-Reading Activities | Puritan Era & Colonial New England
By TaughtOught Homeschooling
These three pre-reading activities are the perfect introduction to the literature unit for The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne. The activities are anticipatory and get students in the mindset of Puritan and Colonial New England life, put in the shoes of the community members of those times, learn some initial vocabulary, and have the opportunity to tie this all together by writing what they think the novel is about based on these pre-reading activities.
What does this product include?
How should I use these activities in the classroom?
You will ultimately determine how these three activities can be used, and they truly can be used in whichever order you see fit. And if you have a class full of students who are completely unfamiliar with the plot of The Scarlet Letter, I suggest completing the slideshow first, the Secret Sinner game second, and the worksheet third (or send it home as homework).
Grab the annotation-supported digital and print copy of the novel here.
