Reading Street, SAM, COME BACK!, Teacher Pack by Ms. Lendahand:)

Supplementary resources to supplement Scott Foresman's Reading Street® (2008/2011 version) for first grade Unit 1 Week 1 -- Sam, Come Back! My TEACHER PACK includes mini-lessons, literacy station activities, station games, R.T.I. nonsense word materials, and tons of high quality printables which support first grade Reading Foundational Skills. The best part of my units is that you can see a standard format woven throughout each of my Teacher Packs. It's a consistency that you will appreciate because it has the potential to streamline your prep work and enhance your teaching, while providing your kiddos with great activities, but allowing you to spend MUCH less time on explanations. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

You will love this resource because it is practical, economical, saves you tons of time, but most of all because your students will love it:)

As an educator, it gives you professional, ready-made GO-TO-LESSONS that make teaching and learning interactive, effective, and fun. The graphics are always TOP-NOTCH:) and beyond adorable:)

For best results, be sure to use this resource via your interactive white board:) GUIDED MINI-LESSONS include but are not limited to:

*ABC Order & Sentences (with Student Rubric)

*Onset & Rime Activities (5th as an Assessment)

THESE 2 activities are taught as a guided lesson daily.

*The third activity I teach with is Build-a-Word; these

weekly spelling~phonics units are available for separate purchase.

I work diligently to post high quality products. If you catch a mistake, please do not hesitate to contact me @ michlenahan@yahoo.com or at my TPT Store: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lend-a-hands-Printables under the Q & A section.

Nonsense Words RTI Week 1 Power Point by Ms. Lendahand:)

Reading Street's SAM, COME BACK!

Spelling Pack by Ms. Lendahand:)

The focus this week is on:

*Short Vowel: a; Consonants: b, l,r, t; Digraphs: qu, sh, ck

*Short Vowel: a; Consonants: l, b, c, r, d

*Short Vowel: a; Consonants: s, t, n, m, l; Digraphs: kn, ck

*Short Vowel: a; Consonants: s, l, c, n, p

This iinteractive activity increases phonemic awareness and phonics knowledge. Duplicate one sheet per child. (The sheet that has a set of four cards need only be duplicated to meet the needs of your class. Cut these apart into strips and give each child one strip of letters.)

I tell my students to color/highlight the vowels yellow. Color the digraphs orange. Students are to cut out the letter tiles and place them on the matching letter tiles that are on their spelling sheet.

To add a bit of whimsy, my students build their words on placemats that have little OWL stickers on them. Anything that makes learning novel, makes it fun!

If there is one activity a first grader can benefit from tremendously~It's BUILD-A-WORD. If interested, look for upcoming week-long spelling sets that coordinate with the basal series.

*These activities are also useful for students who are working in a slower-paced reading group in second grade. Also, these interactive lessons are excellent for Home-Schoolers:)

{Please teach the lesson in the order that best suits you.}

FYI: Some of the teachers who purchase this product like to use it in RTI/Reading Groups. My co-workers use it in reading groups. I prefer to use it whole group, because we have a whole system of "Catching the Word", "Letting Out the Individual Sounds", then we "Finger Spell the Word"...it gets so interactive that I find when I do this activity with my reading group, the rest of the class gets too involved and won't stay on task and do their station work; therefore, in my own classroom BUILD-A-WORD is a WHOLE GROUP Activity. No one gets left out...also, I use the white board to have everything on display as we go along to help the less advanced spelling student stay on track.

I like to have BUILD-A-WORD out on my students' tables first thing in the morning. It's part of their morning routine to get their materials set up. It's one of our little rituals...LOL

For more great resources you may want to take a peek at these week-long units...I wish I could bundle these for you, but the files are just too large to do so. Since I can't bundle them for you and offer them at a discount, I provide you fantastic resources at great prices day in and day out:) Enjoy and happy teaching! Ms. Lendahand:)
