FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Holiday Sweet Treats: "Roll, Say, Keep!" Alphabet Center, Game, and Printables”

by Differentiation Station Creations
Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten


Holiday Sweet Treats! 
Christmas Holiday "Roll, Say, Keep!" Alphabet Center, Game, and Printables
This is a winter holiday themed center, game and printables. You can use it for Christmas, or just for fun!

This is a game that can be used in a center or small group setting. It is appropriate for advanced preschoolers, kindergarten, special education instruction, RtI, or for any student that needs extra practice in learning their upper and lowercase letters. It is great for adding active learning while practicing basic skills! There is a lot of repetition to help students strengthen their knowledge of the upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet. You can use this game to focus on letter names, or to focus on the sound that each letter makes.

There are printables for every upper and lowercase letter of the alphabet. Students will use these extension worksheets to practice identifying the specific upper or lowercase letters that you are focusing on in your lessons.

Directions
-Print and laminate Roll, Say, Keep mats and alphabet cards for durability. Print as many mats as you need for the students that will play.
-This can be done in a center or small group setting.
-Students will place the alphabet cards facedown, in a pile, on the table. Students will choose 6 cards and place them on each square of their “Roll, Say, Keep” mat. 
-Students will roll the die and identify the number of dots on the die. They will match it to the same number on their mat.
-The student will read the letter. If they are able to correctly identify the letter, they pick up the card and put it in their pile in front of their board. They “won” this card. If they are not able to identify the letter, they leave it on their board to try again. 
-Students will continue until all the cards are gone. The student with the most alphabet cards wins.
-You can choose to work with only upper or lowercase letters, or to combine all the letters. You can work on letter identification, or to work on naming the letter sounds.
-Students will complete extension activities, after playing the game.
There are two extension activities. In the first, students will distinguish between specific letters. They will color or use bingo markers to identify a specific letter. They will only dot the specific letter. There is a worksheet for every upper and lowercase letter of the alphabet, so that you can use only what you need.
-In the second, they will distinguish between upper and lowercase letters. For example, they will color or dot the uppercase “A” orange and the lowercase “a” green. There is a worksheet for every letter of the alphabet.

Choices allow for student strengths to be recognized, including artistic, writing, acting, and music elements.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Inference Passages - using evidence and schema - COMMUNITY HELPERS - PREVIEW”

by Ainsley Karl
1st - 4th Grade


Passages to help students use text clues and background knowledge make inferences 

This is FREEBIE of my 24 passage set found here


Inference is a hard skill to master. Especially in students with reading comprehension difficulties. I created these short passages to help my students practice this skill. These passages are longer than most I have found available and I believe the extra details help my students better grasp the inference. 

This specific set of inference passage is based on COMMUNITY HELPERS. 
Use in conjunction with a community helper unit or just for fun. These passages rely heavily on students reading the passage and then applying their prior knowledge to figure out what job is being discussed.

Each passage asks students to read, name what job they think and then give 2 supporting details that support their answer. 

24 Passages included in the main file! 
Jobs included:
Zookeeper
Vet
Chef
Baker
Bus Driver
Crossing Guard
Teacher
Principal
Librarian
Plumber
Gardner
Mail Carrier
Pilot
Flight Attendant
Train Conductor
Doctor
Nurse
Dentist
Trash Collector
Police Officer
Fire Fighter
Janitor
Detective
Farmer
