The Crafting Minds' Game Plan Generator instantly creates a structured literacy routine and accompanying decodable passage for students reading at a Kindergarten - Third Grade Level.
Game Plan Activities. Each lesson includes 12 different activities including phonemic awareness, letter/sound, single word reading, RAN charts, vocabulary tasks, sentence reading, dictation, passage and reading comprehension questions.
Scope and Sequence. The game plan follows a cumulative scope and sequence that controls the difficulty of a lesson and accompanying text. Stories generated in the lesson plan are highly decodable and offer an opportunity to practice target skills.
An example of optional phonics skills at each grade level include:
Kindergarten: short vowel sounds, nasalized vowels, silent e words, consonant blends, digraphs and suffix -s.
First Grade: all skills from Kindergarten and r-controlled, and additional suffixes.
Second Grade: all skills from Kindergarten and First Grade, vowel teams, multisyllabic words, and consonant LE.
Third Grade: all skills from K-2, additional multi-syllabic words, all syllable types, and additional prefixes and suffixes.
Digital Resources. Lesson plans and teaching materials are delivered digitally. Lessons are saved in a personal library for the duration of a license. Libraries can be accessed via the Crafting Minds platform.
