Description

This Veteran’s Day Partner Play is just what you need to celebrate our country’s heroes. Partner plays are a great way to work on fluency, reading comprehension, and key content areas all at the same time. This partner play focuses on Veteran’s Day and explains why we celebrate it and what Veterans have done for us. Before, during, and after reading activities are included for close reading.

HOW CAN TEACHERS USE THIS VETERAN’S DAY RESOURCE?

This partner play was developed to support students who needed reading intervention AND support with fluency. It takes a few days to complete the activities that accompany the play, so students have purposeful reading opportunities. By rereading the play, students build fluency, deepen understanding of content vocabulary and concepts, and are engaged purposefully with the text.
