Lesson Planner 05-01-07 Protected with Flash Card and GYR.xls
This spreadsheet will create drill worksheets for each lesson. Each time you print, view or press F9, the materials are randomized. This allows new sheets to be generated so that students don't memorize a pattern.
You may also tailor the sight words and/or phonic drills to meet your needs by entering up to 10 sight words and 20 phonetic related skills, such as consonants, word families (at, it, ot) and/or related words.
In the 05-01-07 version, three new tabs have been added to simulate flash cards. Each time you press F9, a new word from the lesson will be randomly displayed. The GYR tab illustrates through color coding (green - yellow-red) the principles of synthetic phonics and analytic phonics with a flash card technique.
The Excel materials are comparable to the following Static Web based material worksheets. For additional materials, such as word variations, sentences, you will need to use the Static Web based materials.
Note: One user of the program has indicated that they were able to use the Excel program with Open Office - a free software office package. http://www.openoffice.org/
