Animals in Winter Video & Nonfiction Unit

What do animals do in the winter? This nonfiction unit will introduce close reading to your young students while growing their schema and vocabulary simultaneously. Show the slideshow to students first- beautiful real-life photographs and simple vocabulary words to help grow schema and connect with the vocabulary in the close reading texts. Next, use the differentiated text passages with your students over several readings, isolating vocabulary and inferring meaning along the way. The texts can be used whole-group or small-group, depending on your needs. Comprehension passages and lots of printables make great additions to your science lessons, guided reading, or literacy centers.
