Reading

This is another great clip to help reinforce compare and contrast in stories.

This is a great video to help reinforce compare and contrast while using nonfiction.

This is a great clip to demonstrate and open a discussion about conflict: man vs. society as shown through the movie "Rudy."

This is a complete reading of the book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie." This is a great book for younger students.

This video is an animated reading of "If you take a mouse to school."

This educational video is perfect for young students who are just beginning to learn sight words. With 35 sight words included, the video offers a fun and engaging way for students to practice and master these essential words. Each word is presented on screen, along with a corresponding image to help students associate the word with its meaning. The video is designed to hold students' attention, making it an effective tool for learning. With regular use, students will become more confident in their ability to read and recognize sight words.

This is an activity-based reading log.

My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.

1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.

2. Practice a skill-based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

This prefix Bingo game can be played in two ways. First, by giving a clue such as "to apply again" and then students will place their bingo chip over the answer "reapply." It can also be played in reverse as I have included a whole new set of cards if that is how you would like to play it. In this case, the teacher would call off "reapply" and the students would search for "to apply again." There are 30 completely different cards for each method of playing. Also included is the call sheet with checkboxes to keep track of what was called or not.

In this digital worksheet, students will practice and better gain an understanding of how to use context clues. Students will read a sentence and then define the bolded word. As an add-on, I also have students circles all of the verbs in the sentence. Because it is a Google Doc the teacher can substitute their own student names into the worksheet. This makes it more fun and engaging. The student names are all italicized and the words that require context clues are all bolded.
