Just like everything I put on Teachers Pay Teachers, this resource started out as something I really needed for a student but just couldn't find online. Research shows that students need many repetitions of a skill or concept before finding mastery, and this is particularly true for my students with Special Needs, my English Learners, and students who need Tier 2 and 3 intervention. I love working with the SIPPS program, but I felt like it was never giving students enough practice with the new s

This is a great resource for students to engage in reciprocal teaching and comprehension strategies while reading. It is great to use for group discussions and helps students practice the "fab four" reading strategies. For non-fiction texts with multiple chapters or sections, check out this version!

This graphic organizer works as the first step in teaching students the 5-finger recall strategy for summarizing nonfiction text. The visual helps students remember what information is paired with each finger. Use the boxes for students to write their notes, then encourage them to practice the strategy orally, referring to their notes if needed. I use this graphic organizer with my students with learning disabilities and am excited about how well it helps them make the connection. Two pages ar

This scavenger hunt provides opportunities for students to dive deep into high interest mentor texts in order to become more familiar with the many elements of different narratives. Use for personal narratives, realistic fiction, and fiction stories to give students chances to compare the elements of each. Students can work individually or in a group to see who can investigate to find the most elements! You can even have your students use this scavenger hunt on their own or others' writing as a

This resource is meant to support students in the often difficult process of paragraph writing. As a Resource Specialist, I have constantly struggled to find a writing resource that scaffolds paragraph writing for all of the different writing genres: Summary (Fiction), Summary (Nonfiction), Narrative, Informational, and Opinion/Persuasive. As students become familiar with the steps, they become more and more independent in producing paragraphs of all writing genres. For my 5th grade students, by

These bookmarks are great for students to utilize while reading to support comprehension. I use these for my RSP students who struggle to remember longer chapter books and informational text.
