This comprehension focused unit will make your interactive read aloud, mentor text lesson, or guided reading lesson purposeful. Your students will love it!
The unit has before, during, and after activities in both Google Slides TM and PDF, so teachers can model with the color version while students complete the paper/pencil tasks. You can use the activities with whole group, small group, book clubs, or in stations, and you can pick and choose which works best for your standards. Note-the Google Slides TM link is on the second page of the PDF.
38 pages in all (1/2 PDF and 1/2 Google Slides)
