A Bite of Nonfiction Bundle

SAVE $8.50 by purchasing the bundle!!

These packs were created for 2nd- 3rd graders struggling with finding the main idea in nonfiction text. Each pack contains an informational article.

This pack is perfect for guided reading or as independent work.

After students read the article and answer the questions and/ or fill out the graphic organizer, students can cut the article apart and glue the text features into a text features hunt book. A smaller, one page, version of the article is included, in black and white, for students to cut apart. I do recommend that the original article be printed in color, if possible, so students can see the pictures.

Included in each pack are:

• A Circle Map to Activate Prior Knowledge

• 3 Vocabulary Cards, with Photographs

• Informational Article in Color

• Informational Article in Black and White

• Main Idea Questions and Answer Key

• Main Idea Graphic Organizer and Answer Key (Each Heading)

• Main Idea Graphic Organizer and Answer Key (Entire Article)

• Article for Scavenger Hunt

• Text Feature Book with Cut and Paste Definitions for all Features in this Article
