Nouns and prepositions — bring the words back

Teacher edition · Grade 6 · Lesson 27 · blocked
An increase IN. The effect ON. A solution TO.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
an increase in — more of
a decline in — less of
a lack of — not enough
the effect on — what it does to
a reason for — why
an approach to — a way of
the relationship between — how they connect
a solution to — an answer for
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: a decline in, a lack of, a reason for, a solution to, an increase in, the effect on, the relationship between.

There was an increase in rainfall.
a decline in numbers was recorded.
a lack of light slowed growth.
the effect on the soil was clear.
The rea reason for change is heat.
the relationship between light and growth.
a solution to the problem was found.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: blocked. All gaps come from today's set.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
Because ___, the an increase in ___.
Because rain, the an increase in rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
We use an increase in when ___.
We use an increase in when rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 3 paragraphs. A + means more than one sentence in that slot. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 2 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
