End-of-Year-worksheet-pack - This pack will suit multiple year levels! It is differentiated to adapt in your class or across different year groups. This pack can also be used as a memory book or a busy bee last few weeks of school activities. 91 page pdf printable product.
It also includes fun certificates that your students can write to their teachers. Thank you notes and more!
This includes meaningful educational activities that are fun and learning based.
This is a phonic power point for the phoneme /sh/. Phonological awareness concepts are included, such as; identifying the /sh/ sound in the beginning, middle and end of words and blending sounds to read words. For differentiation purposes, some extension slides are included that cover sounds not regularly taught prior to the /sh/ phoneme. Sound buttons under each word encourage students to sound out each word prior to reading. At the end of the slide there is an activity whereby teachers can allow students to brainstorm words that have the target phoneme in various places (beginning, middle and end).
Includes the graphemes:
ai, ay, a-e, ee, ea, e, y, oa, o-e, o, ar and initial code words
Differentiated into 4 different levels of ability
Includes: read, trace and write & read, fill in the missing sound and write
Includes a spelling test blank student sheet
Includes a teacher spelling checklist
includes a teacher reading checklist
includes grapheme tiles to use for sound swapping or testing activities
Teacher explanation is provided in this pack.
Phonic Roll and Read game boards. These games are differentiated. Choose the boards that target your specific phonemes and the graphemes you are teaching. A consolidation, or extension, board is provided for each target phoneme that includes a combination of graphemes. This is an easy way to differentiate phonic activities in a classroom. When students arrive to the ‘Roll and Read’ table, they simply choose the board that has their target graphemes on.
Graphemes include; ai, ay, a-e,
ee, e, ea, y ,
oa, ow, o
ar
One board for each grapheme introduced
A consolidation board is included with all graphemes for the target phoneme (sound)
Instruction sheet is provided for the teacher
Teacher checklist to record skills used by students to decode the words
Blank board to write your own words on
The target phoneme is underlined on each board so it will prompt the student to say the sound as a whole (e.g. ‘feet’)
Most words are one syllable but there are some two syllable words included
I hope you find this useful. Laminate games or put them in plastic sleeves for reuse and save on printing ink.
Kind regards,
Jennifer
