This resource was used during guided reading groups. I used both the digital version and the paper version. I let students choose between the two modes during their seat work rotation.

This was perfect to teach author’s purpose. It gave them practice with this skill and it showed me where some students had gaps.

I love using task cards. These had great little passages and were wonderful for small groups that needed to be retaught/work on their skills.

My students worked together to complete these task cards and then, become to teacher to show the rest of the class how they got their answers.
Candance Campbell –
Any time my students can use the chromebooks is a win for me. This is a great way to start using digital pieces instead of laminating and cutting it out for a station.
