As an added BONUS I have just added five additional pages of Author's Purpose that can be used for different holidays. This new bonus will help you to teach this skill more efficiently because now you will have resources to teach Author's Purpose and then you can review the skill again as a holiday activity (New Year's, Christmas, Valentine's, etc).
Please review some of my other sales in reading. Rather than just provide students and ask them to answer a question, I am selling 8 different listings for reading. Each reading focuses on one of the major areas of reading: (1) Vocabulary, (2) Compare and Contrast, (3) Fact and Opinion, (4) Story Elements, (5) Author's Purpose, (6) Main Idea, (7) Interpreting Information, and (8) Cause and Effect. If you truly want your child/student to excel in reading then they must first master the various skills of reading in isolation.
In addition I am an elementary school teacher, but also a published author. On this website I include explanations, examples and worksheets for teachers, parents and students that are all taken from my workbook on expository writing as well as the 8 benchmarks of reading.
