FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “English Learners and Specific Learning Disability CHECK LIST”

by Fun To Teach
Kindergarten - 12th Grade


This is a freebie from a blog post I wrote on English Learners and Specific Learning Disability.

As ESL ELD teachers we are always worried about misidentification of English learners. Specific Learning Disability (SLD) is a language and literacy-related disability referring to a psychological processing disorder. If focuses on understanding or using spoken or written language. Determining whether an ELL’s learning difficulties are from language or something else is a tangled web.

As teams of educators ponder how to work best with English Learners they can reflect on a many different approaches. Here is a preliminary list of considerations I offer our staff.

I hope this offers some guidance for your school teams that work with English Learners.

FREE MATH LESSON - “FREE Using Mental Math to Make Numbers Using Number Tiles”

by Scipi - Science and Math
4th - 6th Grade


This FREE math resource contains hands-on, problem solving activities for grades 4-6 and is online interactive ready. It features number tile math puzzles that provide practice in mental arithmetic, operations with numbers while at the same time encouraging logical reasoning and creativity, all in a game-like setting. Furthermore, they are a powerful tool for teaching students basic addition skills since each row, column, and diagonal must add up to be the same sum.

Number tiles are arranged in such a manner that the sum of the tiles that form each straight line of the number equal the same sum. The designated sum for the number is written on each page as well as the specific number tiles to be used. Both of the number puzzles have more than one answer; so, students are challenged to find a variety of solutions.

The activities require that the students use each number tile only once. However, some of the activities will not require the use of all ten tiles; so, reading and following the directions before beginning each Magic Number puzzle is important. Answer recording sheets are provided for the student as well as possible solutions for the teacher. A Number Tile Keeper in addition to a blackline of the number tiles is located at the end of this resource.

You can also purchase a Number Tile Math Bundle to save money:

by Autism Classroom Resources-Christine Reeve

A contingency map is essentially a graphic organizer, or a visual problem solver.  It shows the students the outcome of different reactions to a potential problem.  They are a way to help students understand the outcomes of their behavior in response to specific events.

You can use them proactively to help students plan for and practice reactions to potential situations that trigger challenging behavior. They also can be used to cue students as visual reminders when those triggers occur.

What's Included?

  • 2 distinct templates that can be used with writing or picture symbols
  • Picture symbols that can be cut out and used with the print version
  • Universal no symbols to use with the print version
  • Powerpoint™️ and Keynote™️ versions that you can add text or pictures to digitally and transmit by email or links.
