Description
This Beach Partner Play is great for building fluency and comprehension skills. Sam and Max Go to the Beach is a partner play for grades 1-3 about how Sam and Max spend the day playing in the sand and ocean waves. The partner play includes before, during, and after reading activities for deeper comprehension and additional fluency practice.
HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THIS BEACH PARTNER PLAY IN THE CLASSROOM:
The play is five pages in length and includes two voices. I recommend using this resource as a fluency center during your guided reading block or using it with your small groups. Each of my partner plays take about 3-4 days to complete because of the supplementary materials included, but teachers can pick and choose which activities work best for their students’ needs.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE BEACH PARTNER PLAY RESOURCE?
The beach partner play comes with the following activities and materials:
- 5 page Sam and Max Go to the Beach Partner Play

MORE ABOUT THIS BEACH PARTNER PLAY:
Teachers can use the activities and play for paired reading during Read with Partner or the Guided Reading block. Students will practice finding text evidence to make comparisons, analyze character traits and development, and story elements.
