Practice with mixed CCVC and CVCC patterns. Students discriminate between sounds at the beginning and end of words.
Review of the week's blend concepts and a formal assessment of decoding and encoding skills for CCVC and CVCC patterns.
Focus on CVCC words ending with S-blends (-st, -sk, -sp) and L-blends (-lt, -lp, -lk). Integration of initial and final blends.
Focus on CVCC words ending with nasal blends (-mp, -nd, -nt, -nk). Students identify the 'stuck' sound before the final consonant.
Focus on CCVC words starting with S-blends (st, sp, sl) and T-blends (tr, tw). Students practice maintaining the sequence of sounds in the cluster.
Introduction to CCVC words starting with liquid blends (L-blends like bl, cl, fl and R-blends like br, cr, dr). Students practice segmenting each sound in the blend.
Review of the week's concepts and a formal assessment of decoding and encoding skills.
Integrating consonant blends with digraphs (e.g., brush, cloth). Focused on multi-sound blending and segmenting.
Focus on CVCC words ending with digraphs (sh, ch, th, ck). Students explore how the digraph sound completes the word.
Introduction to CCVC words starting with digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh). Students practice identifying the initial digraph and blending it with the rest of the word.
A hands-on science and ELA lesson where students explore mystery scents and use descriptive olfactory details to document their observations.
A behavior management system inspired by high-speed adventures to help students track their daily goals across nine periods. This lesson includes a student tracking sheet and a teacher guide for implementation.
A foundational exploration of Earth's place in space, covering the Sun, gravity, atmosphere, and Earth's rotation through engaging true/false, matching, and multiple-choice questions.
A lesson focused on teaching personal space boundaries to students, specifically targeting transitions like standing in line and floor-time activities like sitting on the carpet. This lesson uses a social story format to provide clear, visual, and predictable expectations.
A lesson focused on the life and impact of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, designed with visual supports and simplified language for students with autism.
