Under the Pre-ETS category of Counseling on Post-Secondary Opportunities, this lesson equips transitioning high school students with knowledge of workplace accommodations, visible/invisible disabilities, and self-advocacy. Students explore equity rights to prepare for post-secondary career and vocational opportunities.
Focuses on decoding and spelling longer, academic multisyllabic words ending in consonant + -le, while spiraling previously learned short-vowel spelling patterns (-ck, -tch, -dge) during warm-ups and comparative activities.
A comprehensive, highly structured lesson bundle designed for IEP students to master sentence correction. It covers capitalization, end punctuation, sight word spelling, spacing, and simple subject-verb agreement through scaffolding, visual aids, and interactive elements.
A comprehensive lesson designed to help students generalize and transfer their executive functioning skills—including emotional regulation, focus, flexibility, and organization—across various settings.
Introduces the final stable syllable consonant + -le, teaching a consistent cover-and-chunk strategy while spiraling open and closed syllable prerequisites.
An intensive review and comparative lesson integrating all four major short-vowel closing patterns (FLOSS, -ck, -tch, -dge) to cement master-level orthographic decoding and spelling logic.
Introduces the spelling pattern -dge for the final /j/ sound following short vowels, contrasting it with the -tch trigraph to strengthen phoneme-level auditory discrimination.
A cumulative practice and review lesson contrasting the short-vowel spelling rules (FLOSS, -ck, -tch) with VCe silent-e patterns to build master-level orthographic decoding and vowel recognition.
Introduces the spelling pattern -tch for the final /ch/ sound following short vowels, comparing and contrasting it with the -ck spelling rule for final /k/ sounds to build orthographic precision.
Introduces the spelling pattern -ck for the final /k/ sound following short vowels, contrasting it with the FLOSS rule to build systematic orthographic decision-making.
Introduces the FLOSS rule for single-syllable words containing short vowels, emphasizing the conditions under which final f, l, s, and z are doubled, while spiraling closed-syllable patterns.
A cumulative review lesson covering Unit 2 (Lessons 9-16). Students practice reading and spelling silent e/VCe words, soft/hard c, and soft/hard g patterns, and explain the position-based sound logic. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 16 of the sequence. Focuses on the application of soft/hard g and c rules in spelling, dictation, and -ge silent-e words using structured vowel-signaling strategies. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 15 of the sequence. Introduces soft g (/j/) and hard g (/g/), drawing explicit parallels to the hard/soft c rules as "partner rules" and reviews vowel signaling. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 14 of the sequence. Focuses on the application of soft and hard c rules in spelling, dictation, and multisyllabic words using structured chunking strategies. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 13 of the sequence. Introduces soft c (/s/) and hard c (/k/), explicitly contrasting them, and reviews VCe syllables through words ending in -ce. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 12 of the silent e sequence. Introduces the u_e silent e pattern (including /ū/ vs /yū/ variations), reviews a_e, i_e, and o_e patterns, and finishes with a 3-column syllable-type sort. Designed for high school students.
Lesson 11 of the silent e sequence. Introduces the i_e and o_e patterns, spirals a_e, and guides students to articulate the general VCe syllable rule using a structured sentence frame. Designed for high school students reading below grade level.
Lesson B of the silent e sequence. Students practice reading and spelling a_e words with less direct explanation, featuring compound word chunking in the warm-up, oral spelling chains, and a dictation assessment.
A structured reading intervention lesson introducing the silent e (a_e) spelling pattern and contrasting it with short-vowel closed syllables. Designed with explicit instruction and highly scaffolded practice for high school students reading below grade level.
A hands-on, highly supportive final exam preparation lesson designed for special education high school students. It uses a gamified 'level up' adventure theme to teach study organization, anxiety management, and effective accommodations use across interactive study stations and cooperative review activities.
