Do you have a reader {in the age range of 2nd through 6th grades} who struggles with comprehension? Maybe you’re a homeschooling mom, a reading tutor, or a classroom teacher and would like some more ideas on how to teach comprehension more explicitly. Well, do I have the PERFECT book for you!
Before we dive in, I’d like to welcome you to my 10 Days of Giveaways to celebrate the two year “birthday” of This Reading Mama! {To see all of the giveaways, please click on the image above or HERE.}
Today is DAY ONE and I am so excited to share with you an AWESOME 160-page ebook by Laura Candler called Graphic Organizers for Reading Comprehension. This book is packed FULL of background information plus HANDS-ON, PRACTICAL help for teaching comprehension strategies…from fiction, to non-fiction, to poetry ALL ALIGNED WITH THE COMMON CORE!
Although the activities in the book are designed for older kids, all children benefit from having comprehension strategies modeled to them…no matter the age!
ALuv (1st grade) and I have used several of the charts included in the book, like this Informational Text Features Search {seen on the right}, to delve a little deeper into comprehension strategies.
