Reading Zone, Grades 5-7

Title: Reading Zone: Language Activities for Intermediate/Challenging Level Students
Level: Grades 5-7, Intermediate
Author(s): Edward Connor
Publisher: Ready-Ed Publications
ISBN: 1863975993
Date: 2004
Pages: 64
Size: 2.52 Mb
Format: PDF
Quality: High
Language: British English

Reading Zone is a set of fifty reading and comprehension sheets. They have been created to suit the teaching needs of upper primary school and lower secondary school students. The sheets have been composed in ten thematic groups to establish a sense of continuity and to add more interest. The themes are: Champions, Children, Fairy tales, Nursery Rhymes, Magic, Mythology, Fishing, Space, Nations and Rodents. Each theme is identified by an icon at the top left of each page. [+/-]

This set of educational materials may be used in a number of ways:

1. As the base for a term's reading experience: The students could be placed in four or five activity groups and each day groups are given different sheets within the same thematic grouping. In this way the last day of a five-day sequence may be used for a general correction and discussion period ending with the "Spot the Difference" activity sheet being done by all. It is recommended that before the students are placed in groups and set to work on the exercises, that one of the sets is worked through as a whole class activity and discussed to ensure that students know exactly what is required.

2. Teachers may choose to work on just one activity type with the whole class and progress through all the sheets in the selected type before selecting a different type. This offers the benefit of being able to concentrate more intensely on the various language developmental aspects that the sheets focus towards.

3. As individual activities: These sheets may be spread throughout the year and used as a supplement to an established reading program, as homework sheets, or simply as stand-alone activity worksheets whenever there is a need.

Publisher: Kumon Publishing North America

Size: 51.4 Mb
Format: PDF in rar
Quality: Good, full-color
Language: English

Kumon workbooks are based on the "Kumon Method", an educational philosophy that aims at unlocking the full learning potential of each individual child. The Kumon Method introduces learning concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to master new skills easily and without anxiety or frustration. As a result, children gain confidence in their abilities and are motivated to learn on their own. [+/-]

Over 3.5 million children around the world use the Kumon Method to develop their math and reading skills. Kumon Math and Reading Centers help students become successful, confident and self-motivated learners.

But it’s not just the Kumon Method that makes the workbooks special. It’s also the care and research that goes into the editorial content, design and quality of the books. Our editorial experts have more than two decades of experience in producing books that are both fun and educational. Our designers create illustrations that attract and delight children. And the quality of our books is the best of any workbook on the market, with extra thick paper and the best available print quality. From pedagogy to paper, every one of our workbooks has been carefully crafted with your child’s best interests in mind.

Book list:
1. My Book Of Number Games 1-70 - 81 pages
This book contains two types of educational games. First are color-by-number exercises, which help children recognize numbers up to 70. Next are connect-the-dots exercises, which teach children ordinal numbers and the sequence of numbers between 1 and 70. Both types of exercises will create the basis skills needed for addition, subtraction and other advanced level math.

2. My Book Of Number Games 1-150 - 84 pages
This book builds on the skills developed by My Book of Number Games 1-70. In addition to reinforcing number recognition and number sequencing skills, My Book of Number Games 1 - 150 will help children understand the concept of a "digit," which will prepare them for higher-level multi-digit calculations. Mastering the concepts introduced in Kumon's two Number Games books will help children succeed when they progress to arithmetic and more advanced math.

3. My Book Of Rhyming Words And Phrases - 81 pages
Using games and exercises similar to those in My Book of Rhyming Words, this book helps children learn more advanced rhyming words and phrases. While learning to write and read situational phrases connected by conjunctions, such as "fox in box" and "cat in hat," children will begin to develop more advanced verbal skills.

4. My Book Of Rhyming Words - 82 pages
This book is for children who can read and write the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Words that are familiar to children, such as hat, bat, rat and cat are grouped by the vowel and consonant combination of the last two letters. Through games and exercises that encourage children to trace letters and read aloud, children will learn how to read and write simple words.

5. My Book of Rhyming Words: Long Vowels - 83pages
Long vowels are the most difficult part of learning to read and write. Using a combination of Kumons systematic, step-by-step approach and established phonics theory, this book helps children understand how different vowel combinations make the same long vowel sounds. Ages 5-7

6. My Book of Writing Words: Learning about Consonants and Vowels - 81 pages
This workbook will show your child how to begin putting words together to make phrases, a crucial skill for sentence construction.
