Instructional Ideas

  • Shrink the pages and copy them side by side to create a booklet of the worksheets
  • Have learners complete a page every time one of the focus skills is taught
  • Use the vocabulary worksheets at the end of the packet every week when class members have a new story and new set of vocabulary words

Classroom Considerations

  • Intended for upper elementary readers reading a variety of texts
  • Sheets can be used as a whole group activity, partner activity, or independently

Pros

  • The 27-page packet comes with 20 pages of reading vocabulary worksheets and seven pages of additional vocabulary focus-word worksheets
  • Helpful way for learners to determine and define new skills in reading a variety of texts

Cons

  • None
