Product Preview Leveled Homework Level 4

Hi, this is Sasha from theautismhelper.com, and this is a video product preview of my Level 4 leveled homework. Um, so if you checked out my other leveled homeworks or use those other resources, it's set up in the same way as Levels 1, 2, and 3. Um, there's— or specifically Levels 2 and 3, there's one page for each week. This lasts the entire year. There's 36 weekly homework packets. Students respond to the homework prompts in a notebook, so it's pretty Easy prep, minimal prep. Print one copy, 36 pages. I print each week back to back, so Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday's on one side, Thursday, Friday's on the other. So you send one page of paper home a week. So it's very efficient, very minimal paperwork. There's a letter included for parents that you can send home to explain this process, and there's also an anchor chart included in here. There are some skills and activities that are included in this resource. That are a little bit more challenging. This is level 4, so we've kind of upped the ante here, including, um, more difficult skills. But specifically, one of the skills that I'd like to include and teach in this level is the skill of problem solving. So when you and I don't know the answer, we don't freak out. We Google it, we look it up online, we figure out the right answer on our own. And that's the skill we really want to be teaching our students and our children, is that when they don't know the right answer, they can look it up online. So there's an anchor chart that you could include. I would put this— tape this on the back of the student's homework folder or their homework notebook so they can reference this. So if they don't know the answer, it's not a cop-out. They can't be like, "Oh, I didn't know it." They have to go find the answer. That's part of the skill that students are working on within this homework. So we don't expect them to know absolutely everything, but we expect them to be able to figure it out. So I'll show you some examples of that as well. So the thing that I've loved about all these homework sets is that It follows the same structure every week, so students will know what's expected of them, but the content changes. So they're working on the same skill in different ways. This also includes a range of math, reading, and language communication-based activities all in one week as well. So Monday, there are 4 math questions and 4 reading questions. The math questions are around elapsed time, making change, Finding missing numbers and irregular patterns, and then fractions. The reading questions are grammar, story elements, um, punctuation use, and a sentence that includes a specific type of grammar component, whether prefix, suffix, verb, etc., but putting a sentence with that. So Monday is always the same. Obviously these aren't the exact same questions, but it'll be in the same format. Tuesday has 7 different questions. A lot of these might be ones that have to be looked up online. So, which animals produce milk for their young? How are birds different than insects? Listing 3 oceans. Those might not be things that all of your kids know off the top of their head, but again, the skill here isn't necessarily knowing the oceans. The skill is being able to figure out how to list 3 oceans. So there's a fact and opinion question included on each Tuesday. A cause and effect, and then 3 kind of more science, social studies content-based questions that might need to utilize Google to figure out. And then there is a proofreading question at the end. Wednesday is based around reading comprehension. The 5 reading comprehension questions are focused on higher-level reading skills, things like main idea, making predictions, inferencing, summarizing, looking at when, how, why questions. So Definitely more abstract skills, more complex vocabulary and concepts included in this text as well. Thursday's focused around math, 2 different word problems. The word problems get harder as the weeks go on. We start with addition and subtraction. We end with word problems that have maybe 2 steps or some multiplication included. The math problems here are double and triple and double digit addition, subtraction with and without regrouping. We add some multiplication, division in as the weeks go on. On. Again, if the math is too easy, that's okay because we're looking at previously mastered skills. The goal here also is for independence. Friday, um, is a writing day. There are 2 different paragraphs you need to write, 2 topics given, and then some proofreading prompts to make sure that you've included the right amount of sentences and the right types of sentences. So I'll show some of the weeks to kind of show you how that structure stays the same, but that content again is going to be different. So the elapsed time will change The word problems will change, the money will change, etc. But it's that same structure, so kids are knowing what to expect each day. And as the weeks go on, getting more independent, more fluent, but the structure is all set up. So 36 different weeks, tons and tons of content included. For me, it was really just kind of life-changing having homework just done. Homework was something I really struggled with. I really kind of ran around day to day grabbing extra worksheets or putting together packets and feeling like I had made all this headway and then 2 weeks later running out of packets. So having this all done, all ready to go, differentiated— since now there are 5 different levels of homework. We have 1, 2, and 3 are the original bundle. Um, I came out with Level 0.5, which is really basic skills, last fall, and now this is Level 4. So if you have the bundle of 1, 2, and 3, unfortunately this is not included in the bundle. The bundle is only Levels 1, 2, and 3. When I originally made it, I didn't foresee making other units, but had a lot of requests for easier and harder level content, so these are separate.
