$5 - $10 Guided Reading Books

Adapted Books with a focus on "Wh" Questions: "What" and "Who" is a set of four books designed to help children learn and practice their comprehension skills. The set includes two books with a focus on "what" questions and two books with a focus on "who" questions.

Extend student practice through print and go worksheets, task cards, and a sorting activity.

Adaptive books are a valuable tool to use with students. While the books do require some prep work such as printing, laminating, cutting and velcro; they can be used again and again! They are highly motivational for even the most reluctant learners. Each book has 8 picture icons to choose from. You can easily adapt by sharing less options with your students.

What:

Book 1: What do you wear? is a fun and interactive way for children to learn about appropriate clothing choices for different weather conditions. It presents various scenarios and asks children to choose the correct clothing to wear for each situation. For example, "It is a sunny summer day and you want to go swimming". What will you wear? Clothing for all seasons is included.

Book 2: What are they doing? is designed to help children practice predicting and understanding cause and effect. It presents various situations and asks children to determine what the characters will do in each scenario. Children can reinforce their understanding by stating what they would do in each situation. "I will... Situations include: Cooking, painting, playing ball, crying, cleaning, eating, reading and sleeping.

What/Who:

Book 3 & 4: This book is available as either Who lives here or What animal lives here. They are a fun and engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their habitats. It presents different locations and asks children to choose the animal that lives in each place. Support is provided with a hint for each animal to help children who may not have prior knowledge of the animal's habitat or characteristics.

Example: Book 3 - Who lives inside a home? Book 4 - What animal lives inside a home? Hint: I am soft, cuddly and I meow. Animals include: starfish, bunny, skunk, penguin, fish, bear, whale and cat.

Book 5: So many jobs! Who will do them? is designed to help children learn about different occupations and the roles they play in society. It presents various jobs, including traditional careers such as teacher and firefighter, as well as more unusual careers such as rockstar. This book encourages children to think about what they might want to do when they grow up. Jobs include: teacher, farmer, ball player, firefighter, police, fisherman, cook & rockstar!

Book 6: Who will do it? This book presents a problem (I need or I like something), and a solution (who I can get this from). For example, I like cookies. Who will bake them? or I need groceries. Who will I pay?

Print and Go:

• 2 pages of sorting pictures into "who" and "what columns.

THANK YOU AND HAPPY TEACHING!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

nOTE:

For most decodable readers the writer can ‘make up’ a story by choosing from only these types of words. However, to accurately tell the Bible story, I had to use a few sight words and Bible vocabulary.

These are not meant to be in-depth Bible lessons. These are meant to support your reading program, integrating the Bible into early learning!

These resources are great for:

• In class learning
• Independent work
• Homework
• Guided reading sessions
• Assessment practice
• Reading interventions
• Emergency sub plans

The activities require NO PREP; they each have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity for those fast finishers and answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of the documents.

The graphic novel, Clash by Kayla Miller is great for children ages 8 - 14, as they can relate with the characters. My students enjoyed this book because it is a book about friendship, being a kind person even if you don't like someone, being mature, understanding what others are going through, and solving problems with friends and in life. This book does not have chapters, so comprehension questions were separated by pages. Therefore, written comprehension skills are emphasized while reading. At the end of this product, there are a variety of short answer writing prompts to choose from.

The comprehension questions in this product relate with the text as well as students own experiences. Vocabulary words, their meanings, and a few example sentences are presented in the packet. As the book is being read aloud, as students are reading the book or after the book has been read, students can answer the comprehension questions in this packet.

If you download this product, and found it useful, please leave me a positive review! :)

Early readers need to read text that is decodable! If your child is working on reading CVC words and high-frequency words these passages are perfect! When they read a decodable reader it gives them confidence in reading stories and it helps them practice the phonics skill they are working on! These decodable passages have two options. One is scaffolded so that they can practice reading the words in isolation that they will see in the text. Tip-you can highlight the CVC words and high-frequency words they read in isolation in the text.

Included:

10 vowel-specific passages

8 Mixed vowel passages

Comprehension for all stories

Scaffolded Passage and Regular Passage

Engage your intermediate level Spanish students with these entertaining reading activities and comprehension questions! This bundle includes the following two Spanish reading activities:

'El centro' is a story about Carlos and Roberto and their adventure downtown as they complete a list of chores and prepare for a party! This story would also work well for any unit over downtown or city locations (like bank, post office, etc.) or working with the grammatical structure of the preterite tense!

'¿Cómo se va al banco?' is about Jorge as he tries to get to the bank. He finds someone able to help him, but she is not who she seems! This story would also work well for any unit over giving directions, locations and places of interest around town or working with the grammatical structures of affirmative tú commands and direct objects!

This product includes:

• Engaging printable story with lines for student responses
• Dynamic PDF version of the story suitable for projection
• Comprehensive 10-question multiple-choice assessment with answer key
• Creative activity ideas for speaking, writing, and drawing
