Description

This fall partner play is great for building fluency AND comprehension skills. The Winner Gets the Pie is a partner play for the middle grades about two children who compete to see who can pick the most apples. (Tortoise and the Hare so to speak.) The play includes before, during, and after reading activities for deeper comprehension and additional fluency practice.

HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THIS FALL PARTNER PLAY IN THE CLASSROOM:

The play is three 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 FALL PARTNER PLAY RESOURCE?

The partner play comes with the following activities and materials:

• 3 page Winner Gets the Pie Script
• Schema Builder about Apple Picking Vocabulary
• A vocabulary page( Using Context Clues) and word cards
• Questioning task cards (12 cards), and a Response Form
• Four Square Comprehension Page, and
• Apple Picking Day Writing Extension

MORE ABOUT THIS FALL 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.
