This resource to support my students using vocabulary that is created using prefixes, suffixes and roots; Latin and Greek connectives; spelling rules and generalizations, along with phonograms - vowels, both short and long; vowel teams; vowel diphthongs, consonant blends, consonant digraphs; words and vowels that are "schwaed," and words from Megawords2(R), Students in need of additional application practice to internalize the skills have benefited from this multisensory workbook styled resource. Students love the spinner and feel proud because some are able to independently "run" the game with classmates. This increase in independence really builds confidence, while still learning. A WIN WIN! What is also great about this multisensory resource is students can work with a partner, in a small group, or participate in a class activity with teacher modeling. The "game" format provides a fun method to internalize the specific skills of words presented. Skills include prefixes, suffixes, phonograms (i. e., consonant blends, ending blends, vowel sounds). What is nice about this activity is the kids have fun while learning! Teachers/parents need to print out the "spinner and wheel" and using a paper clasp, insert the spinner arrow to the wheel. If possible, please laminate for increased flexibility with the arrow moving around the wheel. If you have any questions, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com Thank you.

Know the Code: Game and Activities -Spelling Rules/Generalizations

(0)
This lesson focuses on a multisensory approach, repetition, review, sequential focus on spelling rules/generalization skill building for optimum student development. It is important each student has time and opportunities to process skills to automaticity. Using a game style activity is one way for students to learn. One folder has the playing cards for game cards for concentration. So teachers use as a learning center activity. The other resource is a version of the power point that contains all of the slides used for the game cards, plus additional student activities to develop the separate spelling rules and generalizations. The rules and generalizations include: plural -s plural -es "fszl" "-ck" "-tch" "dge" "age" Doubling Rule E Rule Change Y Rule Optional Use: There are "wild cards" - students can change rule (if they turned over a different rule, so they have a "second chance" at getting a matched pair with another opportunity to turn over another card. Optional: Lose a Turn cards TEACHERS: You can determine the amount of rules to allow students to use. Remember there are 90 cards with the ten spelling rules/generalizations, young students developming visual memory will do better with less cards.But, as students's skills increase, consider increasing the number of rules/generalizations to include. This concentration game is useful for single players, partners or small groups. If you have a question, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. thank you. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M.

Know the Code: Parts of Speech - Noun https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-parts-of-speech-noun-11168901 A multisensory approach to support student internalization of the part of speech – noun. While many believe students can identify and locate nouns in sentences, the reality is students are not always efficient. A challenge for students is in the identification of concepts/ideas, which are part of a noun description. Unfortunately, when students identify nouns, what it being is a basic note) “…people, places and things….” Students should be able to state “people, places, things and concepts/ideas.” A review of this bundle will highlight opportunities to support student development. Parents and teachers can select specific activities based on student need. Writing activities are included. Comprehension skills improve when students understand parts of speech within written text. Why? Students can locate the core elements in a sentence – the subject- a noun and verb. . Identification of the main subject (noun) and verb in complex sentences is critical to writing.

Looking for a model of a short story plot triangle model for your students? Would any of your students benefit from having a graphic organizer of a short story plot triangle? Would you like to save time reinventing "the short story plot triangle" for every short story discussed? This resource uses the Most Dangerous Game, a classic suspense short story read in so many middle and high schools. Teach the short story triangle using The Most Dangerous Game. Students read the story, learn about the specific aspects of a short story plot triangle, and then can independently use the information in this resource for additional short stories comprehension! The second file contains the actual text of the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Since this classic suspense fictional short story is available online for free, I downloaded, formatted so students can annotate and have an easier time reading the text. The price of this multisensory resource if for the power point only - the story is free and available by "googling "free text of The Most Dangerous Game." It is my hope that providing it would save you time! Additional strategies are included to support student development beyond the short story triangle such as a K-W-L graphic organizer, and a mini lesson on what strategies are and why strategies are important for readers to use when reading. For many students, unless explicitly explains and discussed, the connection is not made and students may continue to struggle year after year due to their uncertainty of what the literacy elements are to the short story triangle!

This is a PDF document filled with information, word lists, and fun activities, and answer keys for application activities that students can use after to check their work. You will even find a Schwa Rap that can be performed by you and/or your students. I love being silly with my students - imagine doing a schwa rap song to 12th graders. It has been my experience, over and over again, that when I laugh and engage in fun while teaching a concept, the students learn! Maybe at this point in my teaching career I love to make the kids groan, but I really know each student loves the fun!
