I have created a non-fiction text book about Ben Franklin. (The booklet was created to ease the printing ability. When the multiple pages are stacked upon each other, two booklets are able to be created at once.) The booklet is a DRA level 10 for first grade, and meets the needs for non-fiction standards, reading and following multi-step directions in text. This is a great resource to use during guide reading, and within the gradual release process in active engagement.

I have a created a nonfiction passage with 8 task cards. The passage was written at a DRA level 20, and includes directions within the text, addressing the nonfiction standard (showing comprehension of text and following directions within a text). This is a great resource to use during guided reading, or in a center/station to encourage the gradual release process towards standard mastery.

Have fun with prefixes by making up new words while using the prefix rules/definitions. Making up new words is always fun! This resource can be used as an engagement activity in a small-group station. Students will have a blast sharing their new words they have created for the town. I can also create a similar activity for suffixes, just let me know if you are interested.
