This resource contains extensions, assessments/reflections, and five different session ideas to teach students how to: use prior knowledge to categorize words as parts of speech; use reading skills to create sentences with word cards; discover the required elements of a complete sentence by manipulating everyday words; share and learn new vocabulary; use descriptive words and phrases to complete complex sentences; and demonstrate reading comprehension through illustrations.

In this lesson, students explore initial letter capitalization, ending punctuation, and the concepts of subject and predicate. Students will work in pairs to create sentences. One student will create the subject part of a sentence while the other student will write the predicate part of the sentence.

Students will recognize both singluar and plural nouns from various multiple choice questions about each noun type.

In this lesson, students practice forming complete sentences by creating a slider that has holes for several missing words.

This resource supports English language development for English language learners. These activities teach students the language necessary to discuss eating habits and holiday foods. Students correct errors in sentences, practice the correct use of many and much, match countrues to their cuisines, and discuss questions with partners. Students listen, speak, read, and write in these activities. Teacher notes can be found at http://www.tefl.net/esl-lesson-plans/TBW_Food_Habits-and-Holidays_TS.pdf .

This resource is useful for newcomers, particularly the first days that they start school because they need to learn vocabulary about objects in the classroom, things that they will see every day. 

In this lesson, students read words found on everyday objects and use them to identify individual letters. They then create captions for an electronic book with preselected logos and illustrations. Finally, they create an original little book choosing their own logos, captions, and images.

In this lesson, students will learn to identify letters and words by exploring one another's names and other words. Each student gets to be "Student of the Day," and the class will explore his or her name and life. Students will learn which letters are in their classmate's name, as well as the words for their friend's hobbies and favorite things. Students will be encouraged to draw and write messages to each other on a daily basis.

In this lesson, students begin by singing a song to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Kindergartners can identify and learn letter names and beginning consonant sounds. First graders will enjoy extending the activity by creating new verses to the song as a class, thus building phonemic awareness and vocabulary. The activity culminates by illustrating the song verses.

In these activities, students will correctly read and write words ending in -s, -ed, and -ing and understand the meanings of those words.

In this game, students work towards turning on the carnival lights by correctly answering whether the underlined word in each sentence is a main or help verb or contraction.

Students will feed the snake by eating verbs that agree with the subject. There are four different levels to choose from: be/have verbs; present tense; past tense; and past participle.

In this lesson, letter-sound correspondences are taught within a meaningful context in an explicit, systematic, and extensive manner. This lesson uses onset-rime analogy to present word families and spelling patterns. An onset is the consonant letter before the vowel in a given word or syllable, and a rime is the vowel and consonants that follow the vowel in a given word or syllable. Thus, in the word bill, the onset is the letter b and the rime is the letters ill. Furthermore, this lesson supports cooperative and integrative learning where students and teacher learn together and carry out tasks collaboratively.

Students will play the game in order to demonstrate their undestanding of grammar conventions: noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, linking verb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Please note flash must be enabled on your browser to use this resource.

In this lesson, students read poetry that highlights the power of words and then explore words that unite people and words that divide people. Students will create a spinning word wheel diagram that shows how people react emotionally when different words are spoken to them.

In this lesson, students are first introduced to a variety of books using rebus writing. They then brainstorm lists of rhyming words that they could use in their own rebus poems. Finally, students create their own rebus poems and share them with an audience.
