Reading Mini Lesson Strategies with Graphic Organizers

This packet is full of ideas to help you plan and teach reading mini lessons with your class. You will have materials to teach reading strategies that all good readers need. There are even independent practice materials so they can practice what they learned. Great for whole or small group instruction


Maybe you already teach this way but want some fresh ideas and strategies. or maybe you are new to this but aren't sure where to begin? This packet has 15 different strategies with everything you need (minus the books) to hold your mini lessons. Even if you don't teach common core these strategies are ones that all good readers need.


***Note*** The lessons in this packet are the same as the individual grade level packets in my shop. The only difference is this packet does not include standards and can be used with any grade level.

 

Each mini lessons will include

*a mini lesson statement

*the common core standard it aligns to

*suggested books to use when teaching the lesson

*ideas for how to teach the lesson

*a mini poster

*questions to ask during the lesson

*questions to ask after independent practice

*an organizer to use whole group as you teach the lesson (we have a poster maker at my school. I turn the whole group organizer into a poster and laminate and record answers with a dry erase marker. If you do not have a poster maker you can still display on the overhead and record answers)

*an organizer for students to use during independent practice
