Their goal is to find matching pictures and words. This activity can be differentiated even more to fit any need (ex. high frequency words). ]]> 2022-10-05 00:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326630496 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326647927 In groups that will eventually rotate, students are given a sheet of paper with a specific sound/spelling pattern. In one color, that particular group comes up with as many words using that pattern. After a few minutes, groups rotate to the next paper with a new sound/spelling pattern. Using their color, they will again work together to come up with as many words as possible.]]> 2022-10-05 00:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326647927 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326664500 Orally, students practice blending to figure out words. First, start by chunking familiar words into syllables. Then, move into onset and rime. Finally, isolate phonemes of smaller words (CVC) before moving into longer, complex words. ]]> 2022-10-05 00:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326664500 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2326684672 When possible, preview and/or read the text in the student's home language.

Texts can additionally be read repeatedly with modeled with leaving "thinking tracks." For example, one can stop to make a prediction, showing how readers think about texts.]]> 2022-10-06 10:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329159182 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329170347 After reading a text several times, use a sticky note to cover specific words in a text. Ask students to predict what the word is. Depending on the type of covered word, this activity not only can support students in noticing syntactic cues, but also can build on vocabulary knowledge. ]]> 2022-10-06 11:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329170347 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329182840 Using drawn pictures or details from the text, students help the teacher create a story map of what they read. The map includes pictures or details of the main parts of the story. ]]> 2022-10-06 11:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329182840 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329188629 As a strategy that can be highly differentiated, students practice reading a script of the story. Depending on language levels, students can help craft the script based on the story they've read. ]]> 2022-10-06 11:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329188629 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329198705 As an activity that comes in many forms, cloze activities essentially focus on the deletion of words from a text. For early readers, deletions can be highly supported with providing a word bank. Though every sixth to seventh word of a cloze is traditionally deleted, more specific words like key vocabulary can be removed. The main goal in performing a cloze is not necessarily just getting the answer right, but having students explain and justify their word choice. ]]> 2022-10-06 11:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2329198705 kbeltran25 https://padlet.com/kbeltran25/xsvf5782yftb7gud/wish/2330156742 Gibbons, P.
