FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Black History Month Main Idea, Inferences, Sequencing & Vocab for Middle School”   Recently updated !

by Mrs H’s Speech Therapy Room
6th – 9th Grade



This is the Freebie Sample edition of the Main Idea, Inferences, Sequencing & Vocabulary for older students which has themes focused on Black History and works perfectly for Black History Month speech therapy sessions in middle school. Many of our speech and language therapy goals incorporate finding the main ideaexplaining inferences and figurative languageremembering sequences, and defining vocabulary using context cues. This language therapy resource sample addresses all of these skills. Themed reading comprehension paragraphs are used to provide students with a relatable context. By giving the students this non-stressful context, they are more open to exploring the more challenging tasks they need to master. In the full sets, each seasonally appropriate theme also easily allows you to incorporate ancillary vocabulary that students can then use within the classroom and social settings.

There is an original fiction and nonfiction paragraph included for each theme. You can complete one sheet during a session and give the second as homework or if you see a student twice per week you will be able to use a different page for each session.

All pages are black and white so they are ink friendly and easy to copy. Answer keys are provided!!

These amazing worksheets also work for articulation students who need some language enrichment. Just print a page and hand them a highlighter ( my middle school students love the scented markers for this). After they find all of their sounds in the paragraph and highlight them, they can read the paragraph out loud. They can complete the lower half out loud and as a reinforcement at home.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Core Knowledge/Amplify CKLA Domain/Knowledge Assessments for 2nd Grade FREE”

by Mrs Magee
2nd Grade



These assessments were designed to be used with Core Knowledge (CKLA) or Amplify Core Knowledge Domains/Knowledge strands. These assessments can be used in place of the thumbs up and thumbs down assessments which can be confusing for both students and parents.

Every assessment and mid-domain assessment containing thumbs up or thumbs down is included as well as any assessments that are just a row of name choices on the page. I did not recreate/reformat any assessments that ask students to circle a picture or write out a response.

The assessments have the questions included so parents know what was asked or so students can read on their own/work ahead.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Free Song or Poem Google Form Poetry Quiz”

by Tracee Orman
6th – 12th Grade



Based on my popular bulletin board sets, my FREE Song or Poem quiz is all digital in Google Forms and can be shared with your students on a secured platform such as Google Classroom. It’s a perfect fun activity for distance learning!

The “quiz” includes 10 different quotes, asking students whether the quote is from a poem or from a song. It includes the answer key and source of the quotes.

I highly recommend this “quiz” is NOT graded for actual points, as it is meant to be a FUN activity and perfect for any poetry unit or if you just want to do something fun in class. The purpose of this activity is for students to see how musicians are influenced by poets and writers.

Quotes used are within the fair use guidelines for copyright.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “*FREE* Writing Visual Feedback Icons for Early Writers (Editable)”

by Peter NZ
Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade



Do you struggle with giving feedback to your early writers who might not be able to read your comments? Are you looking for a way to give your students meaningful feedback in a timely manner? Perhaps you need to try using visual icons!

This free editable download contains 17 icons you can use to tell your little writers what they’ve done well and what their next steps are. I have a big copy of this as a poster to refer to when I model writing to my students. I then draw these icons onto my students writing where they show evidence of meeting the writing goal. The icons can be drawn or stuck onto blank pages to remind students of their learning goals too.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THIS:

The products in this shop are created by the LessonSpeak team and me (Johnny Ilca), an entrepreneur who happens to teach. Inspiration for these products came from my own personal struggles as a freelance online English teacher. I used to work at iTutorGroup and when I left the company, I struggled in finding quality material to continue teaching in that way. I paid freelancers on Upwork to make some for me but they were of poor quality and had wayyyyy too many mistakes. That is when I took it upon myself to create the best resources not just for myself but for all online English teachers! I am my very first and most loyal customer so you know that these materials have been vetted. However, I am only one person and everyone makes mistakes…

Get a free product if you send me the errors to correct!

I hope this product delivers everything you hoped for and more.
