Koala,Playground activityLiteracy Classroom 6: A Silent-E Syllable Template
This Koala Go classroom template is designed to teach the silent-e syllable. The Koala Go Whiteboard Slides and Playground contain letter tiles, illustrations, review tools and activities, and board games. This product has been reviewed by Susan Barton for copyright compliance and is compatible with the Barton Reading & Spelling System. Illustrated template pages for phonics spelling rules taught in Barton Level 6 are included. However, you must provide your own instructional content. NO copyrighted Barton curriculum content is included, including Barton’s spelling rule names and definitions. In order to build Barton lessons with this template, you MUST already own the Barton System, as the lessons are NOT prebuilt. This template serves as a framework with which to build your own lessons using your own curriculum. The Koala Go Playground has designated spaces for teaching new content and working on spelling and reading words, phrases, sentences, sight words, and review. The teacher and students land in a space portal upon entry to the playground. This world is designed to flow through a lesson in a linear fashion, starting at the top of the world and working your way down to the bottom. Each teaching area is accessed through a gate or doorway. After teachers build their lessons, the gates can be locked so students can’t access the next part of the lesson without unlocking the gate as you move through the playground. There are pathways and hidden portals throughout the world to provide shortcuts and alternative routes so you can design your own lesson flow. Literacy Classroom 6: A Silent-E Syllable Template is compatible with structured Orton-Gillingham-based programs that teach English syllable types. Use this Koala Go classroom template to build and save individual lessons as your master templates, which you can then copy for each new student. TEACHER TIP #1: To maximize workflow during a session, complete reading tasks in the playground and spelling tasks on the whiteboard slides. Toggling between the two spaces at regular intervals as you switch between reading and spelling practice keeps the lesson moving without time for students to grow bored in either space. TEACHER TIP #2: Build all lesson procedures in both the whiteboard slides and in the playground so you have the flexibility to do any procedure in either space as needed with students.
