2 38 Before You Teach Teacher Guide Our resource has been created for ease of use by both TEACHERS and STUDENTS alike. Introduction I ncrease vocabulary, sight word recognition and comprehension as you help your students identify the correct pronunciation of short and long vowel phonograms (word families) using real life pictures as an aid. We also highlight high frequency words which encourage beginning skills for reading. As students begin to read and understand more about the onset and rime 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 work sheets include, riming, writing, poetry, cloze sentences, riddles and chunking. This resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for beginning readers. It can be used in any Language Arts program as a supplement to a balance literacy program to strengthen children s reading, writing and thinking skills. Words are best learned in continuous text so you may wish to introduce the activities in this book as they appear in your shared reading, guided reading, writing and words blocks. This resource is comprised of interesting and engaging student activities in language, reading comprehension and writing, and can be effectively used for individual, small group or whole class activities.

Activities in language, reading comprehension and writing (in the form of reproducible worksheets) make up the majority of our resource. There are a variety of pages organized in the following sections PICTURE RIMES activities, BOXED WORDS activities, CLOZE activities, READING PASSAGE activities, and WRITING tasks. All are either a half-page or full page long. It is not expected that all activities will be used, but are provided for variety and flexibility in the resource. Also provided are two puzzles, a word search and crossword. Each of these worksheets can be completed as individual activities or done in pairs. Three Graphic Organizers are included to help develop students thinking and writing skills. The Assessment Rubric (page 5) is a useful tool for evaluating students responses to many of the activities in our resource. The Comprehension Quiz (page 52 and 93) can be used for either a follow-up review or assessment at the completion of the unit. EASy MARKInG AnSWER KEy Marking students worksheets is fast and easy with our Answer Key.
