This set of activities can be taught at your own pace–whether you choose to do a few items in a day, or spread them out over a week! All of the lessons are able to be taught whole-group or small group, depending on the needs of your students.
The schema, vocab, and sentence comprehension activities take no longer than 15 minutes each, while the main comprehension lesson ranges from about 20-30 minutes. You can choose to complete the actual read-aloud portion in conjunction with the comprehension lesson, or at a separate time beforehand to fit your schedule! The written expression portion is designed to take about 15-30 minutes, depending on the writing pace of the student. We have provided you with 3 different prompts, ranging in levels of difficulty to help you meet your students right where they are!
The Science of Reading tells us that our focus at hand should always be The Reader, The Text, and The Task. This lesson guide brings that research-based theory to LIFE with high-quality text and thoughtful lesson planning! We have done the heavy lifting for you so that you can focus on pushing your students to be the very best readers and thinkers they can be!
