My "big" kids in grades 5 and 6 have been struggling with their French sounds - both basic and complex - and we're backtracking! However, because of their unique needs, I was struggling to find texts at their level that featured these complex sounds - in excess - for them to practice, see in real life and to work with them in guided readings or 1:1. I was finding myself scouring my shelves for books that had ample opportunities for them to see and practice a certain sound and wasn't having success; so I decided to create texts that hone in on specific sound formations they're struggling with, have never properly learned, or have forgotten. They are texts which feature vocabulary at the grade 5-6 instructional level.

I was also tired of running back and forth from my literacy lab to find reading records and wanted to have them printable from my classroom. If you're in a similar boat, this is the product for you!

This collection features 44 pages of resources:

- 12 texts (student version to be printed and used in small groups or 1:1)

- 12 texts (teachable version with sounds highlighted, or for differentiated instruction)

- 12 "fiches" to use as a fiche d'observation/fiche d'évaluation en littératie in a 1:1 setting featuring columns you're used to seeing (Erreurs, autocorrections, S | St | V strategies, Fluidité, Date, Nom de l'évaluateur et nom de l'élève). I've also provided you with a handy accuracy calculator so you don't need to pull out your calculator for each individual text. Circle the number of errors and you'll be given their accuracy percentage. Each text features comprehension questions.

The sounds and textual features you'll see featured in these series of texts include:

• -ais, -ait, -aient, -ent, -ment, -ant, -ante (suffixes)
• -i, -ui, -ier, -ierre, -air, -ien, -ain, -oi, -ieu, -in, -ie (bases et suffixes)
• -i, -ie, ié -is, -it, -eille, -ay, -oi , -io (bases et suffixes)
• -ai, -ou, -eu, -oi, -io, -ui, -ue, -eau, -ie (bases et suffixes)
• les sons muets: -t, -s, -d, -ent, h, -c (suffixes - sauf le "h")
• apostrophes et traits d’union
• -e muet et non-muet (suffixes)
• Adjectifs masculins, féminins et pluriels (suffixes)

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!

SS.7.C.1.4 - The Declaration of Independence

Analyze the ideas (natural rights, role of the government) and complaints set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

Benchmark Clarifications:

Students will explain the concept of natural rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

Students will identify the natural rights specifically expressed in the Declaration of Independence (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness).

Students will analyze the relationship between natural rights and the role of government: 1. People are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;

2. Governments are instituted among men to secure these rights;

3. Governments derive their just powers from the consent of governed; and

4. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.

Students will recognize the connection between specific grievances in the Declaration of Independence and natural rights’ violations.

Students will recognize colonial complaints as identified in the Declaration of Independence (imposing taxes without the consent of the people, suspending trial by jury, limiting judicial powers, quartering soldiers, and dissolving legislatures).
