Fifty percent of our English language is closed syllable type words. Once a student learns this syllable type, they have a great foundation upon which to build. So it is a well worth our efforts to invest our time teaching this syllable type if we are going to have successful readers.I created this packet for my students to have fun learning closed syllable type words. There are 6 syllable types, and closed syllable is the most basic type to teach. There are multiple word lists in the unit, ‘Reading Closed Syllables.’ This reading unit provides 158 word lists of the closed syllable type words. Also, a master list of all the words is included as a quick reference. The lists in this unit include words spelled using each vowel in conjunction with common phonograms. These lists of words will help students recognize the common patterns seen in closed syllables. Also, reading will become more manageable for students once they understand the different syllable types.

The unit, ’15 Games & Activities Teaching Closed Syllables’ include 15 fun games and activities that can be placed in literacy centers for the students to enjoy. The following games are included in this packet:

1. Bubble Bath
2. Bubble Yum Relay
3. Scrambled Eggs
4. Bag the Odd Chip
5. Morph the Word
6. Flower Power
7. My Closed Syllable Word Book
8. Recording Sheet
9. Roll a Word
10. Spin a Word
11. Puzzle Words
12. Hangin’ Out the Laundry
13. Map Out The Treasure
14. Connect 4
15. Beat the Clock

tools of good readers

 

Based on Dr. Jean’s song, “The Tools of Good Readers,” This poster helps students to remember basic reading strategies:

1. Look at the pictures.
2. Sound out the letters.
3. Go back and read it again.
4. Do you see a smaller chunk that you can read?

The song is a rap that students will love, and can be found on Dr. Jean’s “Totally Reading” CD or for download at her site, http://www.drjean.org .

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This is a culminating evaluation for Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games”. This evaluation allows students to explore the novel’s theme of injustice in a mini-research paper by exploring some of the injustices in our world and by making associations with the novel. Students are also asked to think of ways we can help improve these unjust situations in our world.

The evaluation itself is in PDF format and is zipped to include the evaluation rubric in Word format for easy adaptations.

I hope you and your students enjoy learning from this evaluation.

It’s teaching made easy!
