5 worksheets in which children need to look at a picture and think about what the short vowel sound would be in the middle of that word, they then need to color the correct letter.

Why do you need this?

Understanding short vowel sounds is fundamental to strong literacy skills, it lays the foundation for their early literacy skills and paves the way for successful reading and spelling. These worksheets give students focused practice isolating vowel sounds in simple CVC words. The ability to recognize and differentiate between short vowel sounds helps children sound out words, enabling them to read new and unfamiliar words with accuracy.

How and when might you use this?

Each page displays 6 pictures along with a choice of 3 different vowel sounds, children have to work out what CVC word the picture is representing and then color in the correct middle vowel sound for that word. For example, seeing a picture of a pig would cue coloring the "i" as the middle vowel sound in "pig".

These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways:

· During small group phonics sessions

· Independent work stations or literacy centers

· Homework practice

· Guided reading groups

· Morning work

· Reading interventions for children who need additional support

· Whole class instruction

Fun, engaging book activity:

This project is a fun way to keep students engaged in reading leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. You can establish this activity by reading the book "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. This helps students understand the concept of Balloons at a parade.

Teachers can determine whether students will decorate an actual balloon or just designing a balloon. Instructions are included for both activities.

A question booklet containing questions about character and setting is provided. Students will make real world connections between their character and themselves. There are three versions of this booklet each with its own type of handwriting lines.

Students will love showing off their creation in a class parade!

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Supply list.
• Links to supply inspiration.
• Two versions of the student directions.
• Balloon design template.
• Tags for display.
• Character and Setting Question Booklet (3 handwriting line versions)

How is this product useful:

• Engaging activity before a holiday.
• Students will use their creativity.
• Links to make getting supplies easier.
• Questions help students make real world connections.

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

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention
