Help your students craft a perfect summary for their nonfiction reading! This organizer guides students to create a complete summary of the text by combining the title/author, author's purpose, main idea, and supporting details. Students also learn how to pull out words repeated frequently in the text to plot the main idea. Example pages are also included.

Help your students craft a perfect main idea to summarize their fiction reading by using this graphic organizer to break down the big picture! The 'Somebody Wanted But So' format receives an upgrade by asking students to also include character traits, character motivations, and the lesson or moral the character learns. Great way to differentiate for students working at higher/lower level texts!

Writing poetry is accessible to all your students with this template! Students are given 10 kinds of poetry, from concrete to abstract, that support writers who need scaffolding and challenge writers who need enrichment. Examples and directions for each are included. Laminate and put in each child's writing folder so they can reference it whenever they need!

Help students develop their thinking by using this rubric to show the progression of prediction making! From one star to four stars, readers will learn how they can grow from making a good guess about what happens next, to predicting how a character might change and what proof they are using to support their prediction.
