I'm a Special Education teacher that collaborates with science most of the day. I've found lots of hands on and wonderful ideas for teaching science that I can use incorporating all of our students. There are so many that I was able to use all year long last year and still finding more this year. Love this site...

Explore the concept of initial consonant sounds with emergent readers. They read words and recognize the initial consonant sounds. They also use picture clues to enhance their comprehension and match initial sounds.
Readers practice reading words with the same letter sound to connect those letters and sounds. They recognize beginning consonant sounds by reading and listening to a story that highlights select words. They also construct a story by actively choosing words, use picture clues to aid comprehension, and match beginning consonant sounds.
Pairs or groups of beginning readers choose cards from two stacks: one with consonant blends, the other with word parts. You have made cards from words with either initial or final consonant blends and cut them to separate the blend from the rest of the syllable. The cards are shuffled. Children choose a card from each stack, decide if the two make a real word. They practice pronouncing the sounds and listening for real words. Differentiate using two- or three-letter blends.
These are challenging phonics review sheets. On the first page, learners match the end sounds to the pictures and write a rhyming word for each word. For the second page, pupils choose an end sound to complete a series of incomplete words. They finish by drawing a picture for the last set of words and circling the end sound. The focus of these pages is on the final blends and digraphs ft, ld, lt, mp, and nd.
Your job is done! These 8 worksheets comprise an entire week worth of spelling. The first two worksheets focus on the suffixes ness, ment, ion, and tion. The next two cover ly and fully, the third set of two tackle consonant doubling, and the last pair focus on syllables. Print, staple, done!
Have your class work with the beginning sounds /f/ and /sl/. This activity has learners cut out pictures at the bottom of each page and paste those that begin with the letters f and sl underneath the letters themselves; the others go in a column with a trash can at the top. Through this hands-on activity, learners demonstrate phonemic awareness.
In this double consonant worksheet, students identify as many as words as they can that function with single and double consonants in the middle, such as "diner," and "dinner."
In this spelling worksheet, students learn to spell 20 words in a list that all contain double consonants. Students write each word one time. There are additional at-home activity suggestions.
In this silent consonants worksheet, students circle the word that has the silent consonant in the first 9 exercises. Students then read the weather report and find the 6 words with silent consonants and write them on the lines.
Your beginning readers will practice blending sounds with this hands-on activity! Each learner gets their own paper slide, cards with consonants, and cards with vowels. Then, after practicing as a class, they can blend consonant and vowel sounds to create CVC words!
