Starfall
is
a
great
website
for
pre‐readers,
beginning
readers,
and
growing
readers!
It
has
great
phonemic
awareness
activities
and
lets
you
choose
books
and
activities
based
on
vowel
sounds,
word
families,
blends,
etc.
While
all
of
the
activities
require
the
child
to
interact
on
some
lever,
either
by
clicking
the
words
to
read
them
or
turning
the
page
to
follow
along,
some
have
higher
levels
of
interaction
such
as
designing
your
character.
Starfall
keeps
students
engaged
while
they
learn
all
about
phonics
and
reading.

3. http://www.thekidzpage.com/learninggames/shelfwords2.htm
This
website
offers
a
game
that
helps
reinforce
the
recognition
of
CVC
words.
The
matching
game
reminds
students
to
look
at
the
beginning
sound
and
look
at
the
ending
to
find
out
which
word
family
the
word
belongs
in.
From
there,
they
should
stretch
out
the
word
and
match
it
to
the
picture.

This
is
a
great
website
to

7. http://www.learningplanet.com/act/abcorder.asp?contentid=172
This
is
a
great
interactive
game
to
help
students
learn
the
alphabet.
The
game
focuses
on
ABC
order
by
selecting
a
section
of
the
alphabet.
Within
that
section
students
are
shown
a
small
set
of
3‐4
letters
with
one
missing.
The
student
must
decide
which
letter
is
missing
and
select
it
from
the
bottom.
Students
receive
instant
feedback
and
either
progress
to
the
next
level
or
are
given
another
chance
to
get
the
correct
answer.
8. http://pbskids.org/lions/stories/eggquiet.html
This
is
a
great
website
because
it

both
interactive
and
informational.
The
site
allows
students

follow
along
to
a
story
about
eggs
as
it
reads
it
to
them.
It
highlights
each
word
as
it
is
being
read.
This
is
a
great
tool
to
help
teach
students
about
tracking
and
following
along
with
text
and
also
about
non‐fiction
books
and
the
purpose
they
serve.
9. http://www.earobics.com/gamegoo/games/pawpark/pawpark.html
This
website
offers
an
interactive
game
to
help
students
learn
their
upper
and
lower
case
letters.
It
only
focuses
on
a
small
group
of
letters
at
a
time
to
decrease
chances
for
confusion.
Children
are
shown
a
letter
(either
upper
or
lower
case)
and
must
match
it
with
its
partner.
Students
receive
immediate
feedback
so
they
are
able
to
understand
where
they
went
wrong
(if
they
did)
and
what
the
correct
answer
is.

html
This
website
features
a
game
that
reinforces
ABC
order
as
well
as
beginning
sounds.
The
game
has
a
connect‐the‐dot
activity
for
each
letter
as
it
progresses
through
the
alphabet.
Students
must
connect
the
letters
in
the
right
order
to
complete
the
picture.
Once
they
have
connected
all
of
the
dots,
an
image
appears
representing
the
letter
of
the
activity
(ex.
B,
boat).
Lesson
plans:
1. http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/1140.html
This
“All
about
Me”
lesson
fits
perfectly
with
my
unit
and
my
idea
to
have
students
create
an
“All
about
Me”
book.
It
also
is
a
great
introduction
to
graphing.
In
this
lesson,
the
teacher
reads
Chrysanthemum
by
Kevin
Henkes
to
the
class.
Then,
students
are
given
a
black
index
card
and
asked
to
print
their
first
name
on
one
side,
and
count
the
letters
and
write
the
number
on
the
other
side.
On
a
large
piece
of
graph
paper,
the
teacher
writes
“Our
Name
Graph”
across
the
top
then
writes
numbers
0‐the
highest
number
of
letters
in
the
class
across
the
bottom.
As
the
teacher
calls
each
number,
students
corresponding
to
that
number
come
up
and
glue
their
name
going
up
the
side
of
the
graph
then
color
in
the
appropriate
number
of
boxes
representing
the
letters
in
their
name.
Once
everyone
has
graphed
their
name,
the
class
discusses
and
interprets
the
graph
(learning
new
vocabulary
such
as,
most,
least,
average,
etc.)
The
children
then
create
their
own
self‐
portrait
and
record
information
they
have
learned
from
the
graph,
such
as
how
many
boys
and
how
many
girls
are
in
the
class.
Then,
for
homeword,
students
take
home
an
“All
about
Me”
worksheet
created
by
the
teacher
and
fill‐in
the
blanks.
This
would
be
a
great
way
for
students
to
begin
brainstorming
about
what
they
want
to
include
in
their
“All
about
Me”
books
to
be
created
in
class!
2. http://printables.scholastic.com/printables/detail/?id=32222&No=0&_TL=
QF&N=1228+370+1212&Nty=0&_N=1228+370+1212
This
is
a
great
lesson
plan
to
practice
consonants,
blends,
and
word
families.
It
has
a
short
group
activity
to
help
students
recognize
why
and
how
words
rhyme
and
how
to
“blend”
words
together
by
looking
at
the
beginning
sound
and
the
word
family
they
belong
to
using
Hickory
Dickory
Dock.
Having
the
poem
in
front
of
them
creates
a
visual
by
allowing
each
student
to
cover
up
different
parts
of
the
word.
Once
we
establish
as
a
group
which
words
in
the
poem
rhyme,
the
students
have
an
opportunity
to
generate
their
own
rhyming
words
based
on
what
they
have
learned
in
the
activity.
At
the
end,
there
is
an
activity
to
help
reinforce
the
skill
they
have
learned.
Students
cut
out
a
clock
from
a
template
that
lists
the
different
beginning
blends
from
the
poem
on
the
left
side
of
the
clock
tower.
Then
students
cut
out
a
mouse
labeled
“‐ock”
to
represent
the
word
family.
Students
will
punch
a
hold
at
each
end
of
the
clock
and
run
a
pipe
cleaner
through
the
holes
to
attach
the
mouse
allowing
it
to
“run”
up
and
down
the
clock
to
so
they
are
able
to
make
the
different
“‐ock”
words.

QF&N=1228+370+1212&Nty=0&_N=1228+370+1212
This
is
a
fun
holiday‐themed
lesson
plan.
The
activity
is
to
be
done
during
Thanksgiving
and
it
is
designed
to
reinforce
word
families.
The
idea
is
to
cut
out
several
large
turkeys
and
place
them
around
the
room,
each
with
a
different
word
family
written
in
the
center.
Then,
cut
out
several
construction
paper
feathers
and
write
a
different
word
on
each
one
that
falls
into
one
of
the
word
families
and
attach
Velcro
to
the
back.
The
students
then
choose
a
feather
and
decide
which
turkey
the
feather
belongs
to.
This
would
be
a
great
activity
to
do
during
centers.
4. http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/1820.html
This
is
a
great
lesson
plan
for
the
beginning
of
school
to
help
students
adjust
to
the
classroom
and
being
at
school.
The
teacher
reads
The
Kissing
Hand
by
Audrey
Penn.
Then,
as
a
group,
we
discuss
our
fears
about
coming
to
school
and
being
in
a
new
classroom
and
our
hopes
and
goals
for
the
upcoming
school
year.
We
also
talk
about
how
moms
and
dads
might
feel
about
the
students
being
away
from
home
and
going
to
school
(learning
empathy
and
perspective).
Each
student
will
then
make
a
gift
for
their
mom
and
dad
to
show
how
much
fun
they
are
having
at
school
and
how
much
they
are
learning
to
help
their
moms
and
dads
feel
better.
On
a
large
piece
of
construction
paper,
each
child
makes
a
handprint
with
paint.
While
the
handprint
dries,
the
students
can
draw
a
family
portrait
to
be
attached
to
the
handprint.
Then
each
student
can
share
something
special
about
their
picture
with
the
class.
When
the
handprint
is
dry,
each
child
will
glue
a
small
pre‐cut
heart
in
the
center
of
their
hand.
Once
we
have
completed
the
activity,
we
will
practice
re‐telling
the
story.
For
homework,
the
students
are
to
go
home
and
give
mom
and
dad
their
gift
and
tell
them
the
story
of
The
Kissing
Hand
and
tell
them
not
to
be
sad
when
they
go
to
school.
This
is
a
great
lesson
for
students
to
practice
re‐telling
a
story
and
also
to
learn
perspective
and
empathy
by
discussing
the
feelings
of
their
moms
and
dads.
5. http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/go/wil/Seuss_Lesson.pdf
This
is
a
great
lesson
for
introducing
students
to
the
terms
“author”
and
“illustrator”.
It
is
also
a
great
lesson
to
practice
the
“picture
walk”
skill.
This
lesson
is
to
be
taught
with
Dr.
Seuss’s
ABC
book.
The
teacher
shows
the
children
the
cover
of
the
book
and
explains
that
Dr.
Seuss
is
the
author
(wrote
the
words)
and
illustrator
(draws
the
pictures)
by
pointing
to
his
name
on
the
cover.
As
a
class,
flip
through
the
book
and
have
the
students
describe
the
characters
and
what
they
are
doing.
Next,
explain
how
Dr.
Seuss
creates
his
drawings
by
starting
with
a
doodle
and
letting
the
characters
take
on
their
own
shapes
and
meanings.
After
the
lesson,
the
teacher
then
explains
to
the
students
that
they
will
draw
their
own
imaginary
animal,
their
own
version
of
the
Zizzer,
Zazzer,
Zuzz
using
paper
and
crayons.
When
the
students
have
completed
their
drawing,
they
will
write
an
upper
and
lower
case
“z”
on
the
bottom
of
their
picture.
As
they
write,
the
teacher
will
say
“Big
Z,
little
z,
what
begins
with
z?”
This
is
a
great
activity
for
students
to
learn
different
parts
of
the
book
and
the
terms
to
describe
them,
as
well
as
giving
them
a
chance
to
create
a
character
from
their
own
perspective.
