Mini Lessons - Fiction, Nonfiction & Poetry - Comprehension Skills - Grade 1

Mini Lessons with Introduction, Practice, and Wrap-up Activities
Correlated to Common Core Reading Standards

Mini Lessons - Fiction, Nonfiction and Poetry - Comprehension Skills - Grade 1 is a series of mini lessons introducing students in grade 1 to skills and strategies that they can use for comprehension of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry passages.

Each mini lesson is designed to introduce a specific comprehension reading objective. All of the mini lessons follow a similar format. There is a title, a listing of the reading objective covered in the mini lesson, a list of needed materials, Instruction, Practice, and Wrap-Up. The materials consist of one or more Instruction Transparencies and one or more Student Practice sheets. Every so often a mini lesson will list additional materials needed for the lesson. These are materials already commonly found in a classroom such as six sided dice, an erasable transparency marker, and plastic or paper counters. The pages labeled as Instruction Transparencies will need to be run off onto an overhead transparency sheet. The pages labeled as Student Practice will need to be run off so each student has a copy.

Each mini lesson is designed to introduce a specific reading objective. Once the mini lesson has been conducted, you may visit it again as a review or as a reteach for those students struggling with the specific objective.

The mini lesson teacher plans include all that is needed for each lesson. You need only make the number of copies needed and gather any materials as specified in the lesson plans. The type that is in bold italics (Tell the students) in each lesson plan is to be spoken aloud by the teacher to the students. Words in regular type (like this) are instructions for the teacher to follow in the lesson. Answers to any instruction and practice exercises are included within each mini lesson.
