**This is the chapter slice "What's Different" from the full lesson plan "Word Families: Short Vowels"** Increase vocabulary, sight word recognition and comprehension as you help your students identify the correct pronunciation of short 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 worksheets include, rhyming, writing, poetry, cloze sentences, riddles and chunking. All of our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.
Encourage reading fluency with activities that emphasize word families. Each unit is composed of three parts: Part 1 introduces students to word families; Part 2 challenges their knowledge of word families through independent work; and Part 3 reviews the lessons to ensure students are able to read, write, and identify the word families.
Written in a story-like format, these delightfully illustrated books each feature one common word family (rime) for each of the short vowels, a picture glossary, and a list of sight words. Titles in this 18-book collection include: Wag!; The Man Can; A Nap; A Cat and a Hat; Big Pig; I Win!; The Tip; Hit It!; Mop Hop; Hot!; Ten Hens; Wet Pet; Hug a Bug; We Like Nuts; What Can You Do?; What Do You Have?; What Can You Get?; and Where Is It?
In today's classrooms, the instructional needs and developmental levels of our students are highly varied, and the conventional math whole-group model has its downsides. In contrast to the rigid, one-size-ts-all approach of conventional whole-group instruction, guided math allows us to structure our math block to support student learning in risk-free, small-group instruction. Guided math goes beyond just reorganizing your math block; it also gives you an opportunity to approach math instruction with a renewed sense of perspective and purpose. Drawing on two decades of experience, Reagan Tunstall oers step-by-step best practices to help educators revolutionize their math blocks with a student-centered approach. Whether you're a new teacher who's curious about guided math or a veteran educator looking to hone your methodology, Guided Math AMPED will transform your math block into an exciting and engaging encounter that encourages your students to see themselves as genuine mathematicians. "Most educators have come to realize that the magic happens at the teacher table or during small-group instruction. If that's the case, Guided Math AMPED is the spell book." -JENNIFER SALYARDS, M.Ed., principal, Chamberlin Elementary, Stephenville ISD "Guided Math AMPED provides educators with a practical framework for enhancing math instruction in a way that provides research-based practices, differentiated instruction, and fun, all while strengthening relationships with students and developing math mindsets. No matter your experience or tenure in education, Guided Math AMPED will give you tips and tricks to implement in your classroom." -MATT BERES, district administrator, Wooster, OH "Guided math is one of the best things you can implement in your classroom, and Reagan Tunstall is the best to learn from, thanks to her perfect framework and step-by-step instructions. She has thought through every potential roadblock and offers concise solutions because she's experienced it all in her own classroom." -HALEE SIKORSKI, educator, A Latte Learning "Don't you dare let another teacher borrow this book . . . you may never get it back! From the rst page to the end, this book is lled with practical ideas and guidelines guaranteed to take your guided math block to the next level." -LORI MCDONALD, M.Ed., retired educator
