⭐ What Other Buyers Are Saying:

"This was such a simple way of getting my students to think beyond P.I.E!!! My students paid attention to detail and were able to have conversations and explain why they filled in their templates the way they did. It really demanded high order thinking from them."

"I like how the house provides a visual for the layers of author's purpose - that it's more than just PIE. The definition of author's purpose included in this activity is one that kids can easily relate to. The graphic organizer allows students to work through the process of identifying author's purpose in a colorful and organized way."

"I absolutely love this resource! It tied in all of the TEKS we have been covering this year but also allows students to see how reading and writing are connected. This is wonderful for independent book reports, small groups, and whole-class learning."

"Great resource for author's purpose! So many other resources rely on PIE, when PIE is no longer applicable! Thanks!"

"Totally changed how I teach author's purpose and text structure. I love how this puts everything together so the student can see that all these decisions go back to author's purpose! Love the architect mental model/metaphor!"

⭐ What Others Have Said About The Reading Interactive Notebook:

"This resource has been such a stress reliever for me!! Whenever I am ready to start a new unit, I just go search and see what resources there are. I like that there are several options for each skill."

"After buying a few of the pieces separately, I finally purchased the entire notebook for my centers. It is a great rotation that reinforces the skills students are already learning."

"WE love this resource in my classroom. It helps to put reading skills in easy terms for my students. They love the visual to refer back to. Well worth the investment in this resource!"

"This resource is so amazing and has made students understand the way they learn best. It gives choices of mentor texts you can use with it and multiple levels. The students are able to group together and make their own anchors in their interactive notebooks to take advantage of their own learning. I like how it gives examples as well to help with the setup and how it is to be used if you wanted."
