Use this 'how to plan' tip sheet for teachers to help with planning!

​Every school and teacher plans differently so keep that in mind when reading this! It is always very confronting sharing how you do things and people tend to always look for negatives.

Ball pit word game

5/13/2022

1 Comment

 
A lot of my students have low high frequency word recall and need lots of opportunities to practice/ recognise/ write/ say their high frequency words or tricky words. I recently saw an activity similar to this where students use words in ball pit but practice them or complete them in different ways. 
Picture
So I went to the shops and grabbed some different types of balls to go in my ball pit - being a plastic container box.  How does it work?
Students use the recording sheet alongside the box and can play either by themselves or with a buddy. They take turns picking out a ball, saying the word that is on it and then writing it down on the recording sheet. Students would leave that ball they picked out of the box so students can pick it again. 

Another way they could play is with the buddy, once they have picked out the balls to swap recording sheets. Students could then ask each other how to spell a word that was picked out!

Lots of great fun using this resource and I can't wait to get this going in word work time!

Letter reversals p and q

4/10/2022

Do your students get confused between p and q and which why they face? 

This is the second letter reversal anchor chart I have created to help with letters that are commonly reversed or written backwards. So I made this letter reversal resource that you can use in your classroom too. 

The p starts with a pencil - so the hanging stick first and then the q starts with a queen - so the circle part first.

With the changes to how students read, parents are needing to think about the support they provide at home. No longer do we say look at the picture and make a guess; or try the word - what do you think? Structured literacy has given us the tools to help students decode the words by thinking about the sounds, segmenting the sounds, blending them together and then saying the word. 

This helpful poster is perfect for parents or even for in the classroom to remind students about how they can decode the word. No more guessing!

Structured literacy sequence freebie

If you are new to structured literacy, you might need a reminder of the sequence in your lessons. There can be a lot; and at times it might seem overwhelming! But this helpful sequence might help you. I did not create this - thanks to the amazing Kirsten Main (RTLB) who put this together as her take. I just made it look pretty - her one is much more comprehensive so this one works well for me.

Of course in a lesson I wouldn't do all of it. I always start my lesson with the same things - usually the top five of this sequence and then chop and change between the bottom ones. I like to keep things interesting so kiddies don't get bored.

So many people have asked how I made this organisation fridge magnet which I shared over Instagram this weekend. One of our school values is 'be prepared' and I wanted to try help my kiddies achieve success in this area. So I made this table, added in some pictures off Google, printed and laminated then added a magnet. 
This can be added to their home fridge or blue tacked on their door or in their room! Something easy to create but effective in its purpose! 

Find the table template below to add in your own pictures - simply upload it to google slides or powerpoint then add on your chosen images and text!

How can you read a book? Freebie!

A big part of our 'read to self' and 'read to someone' this year was looking at the ways we can read a book. Students were very aware that they might not be able to read the words, leaving them feeling sad and uninterested in reading. 
So we spent ALOT of talking about how you can read the pictures to help you make a guess or inference about what the story might be about. This freebie anchor chart might help you and your students remember how they can also read books when completing read to self or read to someone.
