LLI - Leveled Literacy Intervention

I have been using LLI for about 2 years and I LOVE IT! I have students all over the board, in terms of their reading levels. the fact that this intervention resource lays out the word work, the book lesson, comprehension skills and running records allows for teachers to plan more individualized things for students. I know I have the framework when i sit down and teach a guided reading intervention session. But, I usually want to dig deeper and add specific IEP objectives to the lesson. LLI allows me to do that without planning for hours each night.
I have a student who is a non-reader. I started using the Orange Kit with him to expose him to basic, patterned books. I have created some activities to go with the first few books. I thought I would share one of these activity packs and see if they could help someone else. Click here to download.

 

A writing activity to go with the story and includes icons to student selection.

A sorting activity for awake and asleep . . .

And icons to sort onto each mat
There is a teacher instruction sheet at the end with a brief explanation of each piece of this mini-packet. If you have LLI and you try this, let me know what you think.


Okay - a few more links to some of the other books:
At the Market
Rex
Frog Food

Concept Confession

Number Two

Okay, I skipped a week . . . so I will throw two things in this post.

I have been working on a Mini Lesson to go with Patricia Polacco's  Thunder Cake! It's a cute book with some links to weather (great time of year to study that) and character development. I just posted it on TpT - but here is the character development page as a FREEBIE . . . hope you can use :)

My second concept is a social skill guide for personal space. I have a student who is struggling with knowing WHO she can hug and HOW CLOSE she can get. She wants to talk to everyone and she immediately loves every person she meets. I am sure you can think of an adult like this :) but, I need to help this girl set some limits. SO . . . I started to make a personal space guide called THE KNOW ZONES. I am still working on it, but here is a peek.

My concept confession is Thunder Cake AND Know Zones!
