Instructional Ideas

  • These would make great supplementary materials to use when teaching the alphabet and beginning sounds; you could also use them exclusively for learners who need more support

Classroom Considerations

  • Designed to accompany a themed unit in Houghton Mifflin's curriculum, these activities can be taught independently of this unit
  • Part of a three-part series that includes a packet of challenge activities and ELD activities as well
  • The materials for all of the extra support lessons are included; for this theme, you only need to find the worksheets labeled with Theme 1

Pros

  • Comes with a teacher reference book that you can use to help you determine how to implement the materials
  • See the materials for an accompanying packet of student worksheets

Cons

  • None
