Increase vocabulary, sight word recognition and comprehension as you help your students identify the correct pronunciation of short and long vowel phonograms (word families) using real life pictures as an aid. We also highlight the “Dolch” high frequency words which encourage beginning reading skills. As students begin to read and understand more about the onset and rhyme connection found in word families, they will begin to think of words as not only a series of individual letters and sounds, but as easily recognizable segments or chunks of language. Reproducible work sheets include, rhyming, writing, poetry, cloze sentences, riddles and chunking.
Each book in the series contains worksheets that are engaging, purposeful and graded appropriately. Encourage all students to think more about what they read and confidently share their observations and opinions. Each worksheet focuses on one of the following skills based on Bloom’s Taxonomy: remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, and creating.
Each book also includes a detailed implementation guide, selection of hands-on activities, student assessment rubric, word puzzles and comprehension quiz. Colour graphic organizers will assist the introduction of the skill focus and in guiding your students through the thought process to complete an introductory sheet.
These materials may supplement your present reading program or be used for independent student work. All of our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.
