Description

“I’ve noticed over the years – through numerous discussions with my students and copious Student Interest Surveys – that children are becoming more and more fascinated with spookier topics. These texts are meant to encourage students to become intrinsically motivated to read!” ~ Hardcore Educators

The Text Structures included in this Product:

1. Description

2. Sequencing

3. Cause and Effect

4. Problem and Solution

5. Compare and Contrast

The Concepts/Skills covered in this Product:

  • Comprehension
  • Close Reading Skills
  • Identifying Text Structure
  • Determining Topic, Main Idea, and Supporting Details
  • Identifying Author's Purpose

These materials are ideal for teaching students the nuances of Text Structure and how to use Text Structure to comprehend other concepts/skills within in a text. Use them as whole-group materials, formative assessments, small group work, Guided Reading Center materials, center activities, etc.

This product pairs well with my Text Structure Review (Board) Game, which can be found in my store at the following location: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Text-Structure-Review-Game-2984702

Teacher Tested! Student Approved!

Note: I always make it a point, when using these materials, to tell my students that ghosts haven't been scientifically proven to exist, but the concept of ghosts is interesting, at the very least. These aren't topics to be afraid of (in fact, I made a point to make these materials spooky but not too spooky).

I hope you and your students find enjoyment in this product!

If you notice any errors, please contact me immediately and the product will be updated! Thank you for your patronage!
