Science of reading activities in a variety of linguistic areas are provided for most lessons of Sonday System Essentials. These activities are designed to take only 1-2 minutes to complete.
Activity Distribution:
Essentials K - one activity per lesson (excluding Mastery Check lessons), available both before and after the teaching session
Essentials 1-4 - two activities per lesson (excluding Mastery Check lessons), one available before beginning the teaching session (Warm Up) and one available after completing the teaching session (Cool Down)
Essentials 5 - one activity for every even-numbered lesson, available both before and after the teaching session
The Science of Reading activities that are available for a lesson can be found on the Class Lesson Overview page and/or the Class Lesson Completed page. The number in parentheses in the corner of each activity tile indicates how many times you have taught a given activity.
As with a regular lesson, any content that needs to be read or viewed by the student(s) in a Science of Reading activity will appear in the Slide Controller and can be shared via your preferred student display method. The "End" slide will appear when all student-facing content has been displayed. Note that not every activity has a reading component.
When you have finished an activity, click the "Click Here To End This Session" button to return to the Class Lesson Overview or Class Lesson Completed page.
Science of Reading activities are tracked separately from lessons, and the activity data can be seen in the Session History sections for a class after the activity is taught.
