What is a Creative Comprehension Kit?

Each kit is designed as a complete guide that includes everything you’ll need to engage your students in an interactive read aloud – including lesson plans, activities, anchor chart kits, crafts, and more! All kits are core-aligned to standards in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade. You’ll find that there’s so many differentiated options included in each kit, allowing you to select the activities that best meet the needs of your students!

What skills are covered in this kit?

Lesson 1: Story Elements & Retell

Lesson 2: Character Traits (Inside & Outside)

Lesson 3: Authors Message/Theme

Lesson 4: Making Connections

***Note: Each of these lessons can be taught in isolation or as a series of lessons across the entire week!

How can I implement these activities into my classroom?

There are so many options included in this resource, allowing you to determine the purpose for each activity as you see fit for your students. You may choose to teach Lesson 1 to the whole group, and follow up with Lessons 2, 3, or 4 in small groups. You may also choose to teach each lesson to the whole group, allowing this kit to stretch across an entire week! The printable activities can be completed whole class, individually in centers, as partner-work during independent work time, or within small groups! The variety of differentiated options also allows you provide a similar task to students at various reading levels that will best fit individual learning abilities.
