Lead your class in systematic close-reading lessons with our user-friendly, color-coded trifold lesson plans and dry erase passages for students to mark up. The trifolds provide paired texts with evidence highlighted to match color-coded questions that follow CCSS Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, and Integration of Knowledge and Ideas. Engaging passages within the grade 3 complexity band encourage students to reread, analyze and mark text, and refer to their markups during discussion and written response. Differentiate by using single-text or paired-text reproducibles. The predictable lesson structure is designed for multiple readings across several days. The lesson plansA at-a-glance skills include main idea, key details, theme, vocabulary, text features, text structures, point of view, and much more. Cards and lesson plans are three-hole punched.
