Multi-Syllabic Words
Hello Again,
It's been a while. The year is coming to an end and at this time of year, things get very busy. I just wanted to let you all know, that I will be posting over the summer. However, it will not be as frequent. I'll be working on some activities and searching for more resources. When I find interesting tidbits, I'll surely pass it on to you folks. Also, if I finish a project over the summer, I'll post a link with a description.
This year and for a good portion of the next school year, I will be working with my groups on recognizing and articulating multi-syllabic words. This is very challenging for my students because of their language and learning based disabilities. Today, I want to share with all of you a website that I found to be very helpful to generate ideas for developing lessons that focus on this topic. The Florida Center for Reading Research is one resource that in my opinion is excellent! If you are looking for ways to teach vocabulary, like multi-syllabic words, take a look at this site. It has lesson plans, activities and games that help students to acquire reading and comprehension skills. At the same time, it helps educators and parents by breaking down reading into fun lessons by grade, by sharing research based techniques and by sharing great ideas. I hope you find it helpful.
Here is the web address for The Florida Center for Reading Research:

I hope you all have a fun and safe summer! Make sure to drop by and read my posts over the summer. One is a review of a beautiful book one of my friends has written-I don't want you to miss out on that one, especially if you are looking to read multi-cultural books to your students or your children!
I hope you all have a fun and safe summer!

Survey of Language Skills
Collecting Language Data
Hi,
I took some time to create a 'live survey form' on google docs. I use this format to send to my students' teachers so I can compile data and get an overall sense of how my students are doing in their classroom setting. I usually work with my kiddos in a small group setting and sometimes I need a different perspective of how they are generalizing skills. As a result I have a more complete picture of their performance during small group and larger group settings.
Use the 'live form' to send to your respondents and make sure to make it your own by copying to your own files. Request for editing access and you can easily edit and add information as needed.
Click on the link below for access to this survey.
Hope you can use this!

Grandma's Kitchen
A Writing and Description Activity
Who doesn't love grandma's kitchen? Imagine all the warmth you felt as you were growing up, savoring grandma's meals and basking in the sweet aroma of her kitchen. As I recall my childhood, I can still picture my grandmother cooking up some amazing meals and telling me step by step how I could prepare it for my own family one day.
As I was reflecting on those memories, I thought about how I can incorporate those associations to an activity for my students. Why do I always go back to my students and their learning? :) Anyway, if I had such fond memories of her kitchen, I was sure my students also had similar experiences. It could be loads of fun writing and speaking about a creative grandma story.
What I generated was an activity incorporating writing and verbal skills so your kiddos can create an original story about "Grandma's Kitchen". I scaffolded the writing from simple to more challenging tasks. In the end, students learn to 'break down' the writing process into manageable steps and also learn various transitional words to make their piece flow.
