Read, Think and Write About It
Grades 2 (binder 1) and 3 (binder 2)
These two reproducible binders, by Rosie Simms, encourage reluctant
readers to read for enjoyment while reinforcing critical
comprehension, writing, and vocabulary skills. Each 120-page binder
features 10 fiction and 10 nonfiction passages, covering a wide
range of topics and written at a second or third grade reading
level. Activity sheets follow each passage and use a variety of
formats, including multiple choice, fill in the blank, graphs, and
charts.
High-Interest Stories
Written to engage struggling readers, passages cover a variety of
high-interest, "real-world" topics, including famous people,
intriguing events, and action-oriented careers. Each low-level
passage is between 210 and 320 words and is laid out in two columns
for ease of reading. Both fiction and nonfiction passages include
simple illustrations to serve as visual cues. Examples of the first
binder titles include Pickle Week , a nonfiction passage about a
unique 10-day celebration and The Real Dirt About Dirt Bikes , a
fiction passage about a character who wants to learn how to ride
dirt bikes. The second binder titles include Like a Hawk , a
nonfiction passage about the famous skateboarder, Tony Hawk; and
Team Player , a fiction passage about community volunteering.
Readability Levels
The first binder's passages range from a 2.0 to 2.9 level and the
second binder's passages range from 3.0 to 3.9. Each binder includes
a list of the passages and their individual read ability levels for
teacher planning.
Varied Activities
5 activity sheets are paired with each passage. One activity
covers vocabulary skills, such as context clues, synonyms, and
antonyms. Three activities cover comprehension, including main idea
and details, making predictions, sequencing, or story elements. Venn
diagrams, T-Charts, and other graphic organizers are also included.
The fifth activity covers writing skills such as letters, articles,
e-mail messages, or advertisements. "Stretch Your Thinking" prompts
are scattered throughout the activities to provide practice in
higher order and critical thinking skills.
Each Binder Includes
20 High-Interest Passages, 100 Activities, Progress Chart and
Correlations to National Reading Standards, and Graphic Organizer
Templates that allow teachers to customize activities for any of the
passages.
