- Worksheet
- Join to access all included materials
Even though readers investigate matters of the heart, this activity promotes the inner workings of learners' brains. The fifth lesson of six has the teacher first model the strategy to the class before having small groups practice. To finish, learners work individually, much like a reader's workshop. Skills from the lesson encourage thoughtful reading regardless of genre—creating smarter readers.
