As children are developing early literacy skills, they begin to associate the phonemes (speech sounds) they hear with the graphemes (letters and letter combinations) they see. The activities in this section are designed to strengthen students’ phoneme-grapheme associations.

Beyond Decodables aims to support young readers' success in reading by allowing children the chance to decode words in a meaningful context.

Using our Six Aspects of Beyond Decodables, learn about how these books were written to support Pre-K-2 students and teachers.

We suggest using our resources for small group reading activities.

Sometimes, it's fun to mix in a phonics warm-up game before diving into reading time. To do this, I usually pick something quick and easy, like our low-prep phonics games, that won't take more than a few minutes to play.

Recently, I created a simple short vowel game with longer short vowel words {like stump and crash} for my 1st grader. I added a couple simpler short vowel game boards for three easy, no prep Short Vowel Roll and Read Games {also included are black and white game boards}.

You can download these FREE games towards the end of this post. Just click on the oval button!

*This post contains affiliate links.

Short Vowel Roll and Read Games

These games are SO simple! Just print them out, grab a die, and playing pieces for each player. Then roll and read away. You can find the complete set of directions on page one of the printable with some variation ideas, too.

The game doesn't take long to play, so I will warn you that your student may just beg you to play again! 🙂 In this case, just say, "Yes!" and play one more time before diving into your reading.

Just in case you're wondering, my first grader is currently reading one of the first stories from All About Reading Level 3 and some of the BOB Books from Set 4 {find our Set 4 printables}, so these games fit nicely with those levels. {He also has a serious addiction to the Elephant and Piggie books, so we keep these close by as well!}

Enjoy!

We are pleased to offer you this exciting product, Stories of Words.

Stories of Words aims to develop students' interest in interesting words (e.g., snickerdoodles, terrapin, scuba). The texts in Stories of Words use the TExT model-the same model that underlies all TextProject products (e.g., FYI for Kids) and commercial products (e.g., QuickReads). That means that reading the texts also increases students' exposure to the core vocabulary. Each book of the 16-volume series explores the vocabulary of a different topic such as food, movies, and acronyms.

Each topic falls into one of four methods of how words have been added to the English Language.

1. Languages from other parts of the world.

2. Themes that play a big part of our lives.

3. Words that we've manipulated or reused to suit different needs.

4. New words to describe new inventions or technological advances.

Every word has a history. Some of these histories, or origins, are quite surprising. Because people have come to the United States from countries around the world, many English words come from other languages. This is especially true for words about different foods.

When things are invented, such as computers, new words are often created to describe them. Also, well known words sometimes take on new meanings. This is what happened when the first movies were created.

Both the Chinese and Japanese languages have more than one system of writing. This means that there could be more than one way to write the word hello! Because the writing systems used in these languages are quite different from the one used in English, some words are spelled in a few different ways. This often happens when people try to spell a word from another language the way it sounds in their own language.

What's your name? Maybe you were named for someone in your family. Many families name babies after an older relative to honor him or her and to carry on the person's name. Sometimes places and things are named in this way, too-to honor a person or event, or to keep an important memory alive. Words like this, in which people's names are used to form new words, are called eponyms. Eponym is a Greek word that means "to give one's name to something."

Since the earliest times, people have looked up to the stars and wanted to travel there. They saw birds flying and tried to build machines that would help them fly, too. Legends tell of people who used wax wings or kites to attempt to fly. These attempts, of course, did not end well.

Over hundreds of years, people built kites and boomerangs that were inspired by how birds glide through the sky. Only in the last few centuries, though, did people have the technical skills needed to build flying machines. Once flying machines became real, new words were needed to describe them.

Not all English words with Arabic roots are related to animals and customs. Many of these words, and others, are unique to Northern Africa and the Middle East, where Arabic is the primary language, but you're in for some surprises, too. You may not realize that some of the words that you use every day have Arabic roots.

Have you ridden a bike? Have you been a passenger in a boat, car, train, or airplane? If so, you've used transportation. When new forms of transportation are invented, we often invent new words to describe them or give existing words new meanings.

Many people like to wear the latest fashions. Fashion is a style of clothes, items, or ideas that is popular at the moment. Fashions change frequently. Words are needed to describe new trends. When those trends are no longer popular, people stop using the words. Like fashions, words, too, go into and out of style.

Music has its own set of words.
Some words are used in other areas of life, but have very specific meanings in music. These words include notes, staff, and scale.
Then there are words that are unique to the subject of music, such as aria.

Putting words into groups can help us learn more words. For example, synonyms are words with similar meanings. The word pretty is a synonym for the word beautiful. By knowing about the group, you can expand your vocabulary and knowledge about words. Words are labels for things and ideas. It makes sense to label groups of words, too.

Talking Points For Kids is a prototype program that aims to increase discussion amongst students on topics that relate to them. To read about the importance of talking about ideas that matter, take a look at the Frankly Freddy entry: High-Leverage Action #1.

The content for Talking Points for Kids (TP4K) is intended for 4th-6th grade students. The texts were written so that they would support students in increasing their capacity in getting more facile with the meanings and recognition of the core vocabulary. Rather than the usual 6-8% of the words in the text being challenging words (which is the case with trade books at this level), the TP4K have a 2% of the words beyond the core vocabulary. What that means is that almost all students in grades 4-6 can read texts independently and engage in a spirited discussion about critical content.
