There is often a lot of confusion on when to use good vs well. This lesson will clear up the confusion! Students will watch a youtube video on this, play a game, and end the lesson with a writing assignment where they will show their mastery of the concept.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Kelly Diehl teach about the short /i/ word families -ig and -ip.

This guidance document helps teachers understand the why, as well as the concrete what and how, of the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block: the overall structure, how time is used within the hour of instruction, what students do during Whole Group instruction and during differentiated Small Group instruction and Independent work, how the design of the Skills block reflects grade level reading and language standards, what assessments look like, how the K-2 Skills Block supports and complements the work from the K-2 Language Arts Curriculum (module lessons and Labs), what a day in the Skills Block looks like, and Frequently Asked Questions.

A single comprehensive resource that includes many of the documents needed to understand the design and to effectively implement the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block, including assessment overview, assessment conversion chart, Benchmark Assessments (teacher and student materials), Activity Bank, information on independent and small group work, syllabification guidance, handwriting guidance, and a glossary.

An outline of all of the Reading Foundations Standards and Language Standards (related to spelling) are taught and assessed in the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block. This document identifies which standards are covered in modules 1 to 4 of grade 2.

This video shows 1st graders using Spelling to Complement Reading, an instructional practice in the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block, that helps students examine the reciprocal relationship between spelling and reading words. First students listen to a word read aloud, repeat the word, and segment the word into the phonemes they hear. Next they use sound boxes to analyze each word for the number of phonemes and graphemes. Finally students hear the words read aloud again, and write them from memory. This instructional practice is used in 1st and 2nd grades.

Starfall is an interactive alphabet-teaching website/app. Letters are presented in a variety of ways -- visually, audibly, and within words and sentences. Students interact with letters to help with phonics as well as reading.

In this lesson, students will be reading HFW, word family words, vocabulary words, etc. and will race their ozobot to see who can finish reading the words first. This activity is an adaptation from a free TPT lesson and can be adapted for any purpose. This activity is best used as a small group activity and can be referenced later as a fluency assessment (If used as a small group assignment, students will need multiple days to complete).Additional modifications: Students code the ozobot to read the desired words (all of the -at words).EL & DL Modifications:- Provide the translations or visuals for the codes for students who need added supports reading.- Provide checkpoints for student monitoring during the assessment.- Provide end of the day check-ins for students to ensure work is completed.- For advanced students (as well as older grades) use more challenging words.- For students needing additional assistance, use letters or words appropriate for their level.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. Watch Kelly Diehl teach about the short /e/ word families through poetry, pictures, and writing.
