These hands-on nonfiction reading comprehension projects offer explicit instruction and meaningful practice for five key skills. They are perfect for breaking down skills for student in intervention groups and for test prep. They are engaging and fun projects, yet a powerful tool for remediation too.
Students learn key skills including nonfiction text features, text structures, fact and opinion, main idea, and summarizing nonfiction which they can use with any nonfiction book. Students use the first 4-5 pages for learning about each nonfiction skill. Then, they pull the information together, practice reading various texts, sort examples and nonexamples, complete graphic organizers, and work with small group. Finally, each book includes independent work activities for application. Again, you can use the pages in the book as displayed or in your interactive notebooks. The books also work well in small groups and as a pair/share activity.
Below, I have listed what is included within each book. For a detailed view of the books, you can watch videos where I show a finished copy. I also have detailed previews for each book included.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just printed this for my class! This will be such an awesome culminating activity on main idea for my class! Thank you so much!☺️.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Megan S. says “Excellent resource! I would recommend to others. Students were engaged and were able to demonstrate their knowledge of fact and opinion. I might suggest adding an answer page for the key word sort as we had a lot of disagreement and discussion about these words. Thank you for a great resource!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am looking forward to using this resource with my class. I used a paper bag book project last year and it was a big hit. Very engaging!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”My kids absolutely love making the paper bag books. These are great because we can just do a few of the pages on shorter lessons/weeks.” Lindsey D.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”This was so much fun to do with our students! The activity was done within a week, but it was so engaging and the students were really understanding the purpose and concept of the lesson. Such a big help!!” Marie S.
