Description: Your students will have fun reviewing past simple irregular verbs while learning about Louis Braille, who invented Braille as a teenager. In this engaging mystery picture reveal game, twenty sentences are presented one by one. The sentences are accompanied by audio recordings to support emergent and struggling readers. Each sentence contains an irregular verb in the past simple form, which students must type correctly to complete a piece of the puzzle. The following verbs are included: be, be born, can, come up with, feel, get, go, keep, lose, make, meet, put, stand for, take, tell, read. A list of infinitive and past simple forms is given on the first page to review and clarify verb forms and spellings. The text is a brief biography of Louis Braille, who grew up both blind and gifted at a time when there was little support for the visually impaired. Because Louis invented Braille as the age of just fifteen, his story would tie in well with Kid Inventors’ Day or National Inventors Month. This resource closely aligns with the following second and third grade common core standards for English language arts: 2.1.D: Form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs. 3.1.D: Form and use regular and irregular verbs. 3.1.E: Form and use the simple verb tenses. This resource would also be appropriate for English language learners in upper elementary, middle school, or high school who are learning to use past simple irregular verbs.
