What's Included

Combo: Reading Comprehension Chips Class Set

Questions to critically review any reading and to develop effective reading skills. Class Set of 8.


Portraits of Character - 1 Book

Develop your students' character through positive role models. In each of these two books, there are 24 reproducible stories of people who exemplify positive character attributes. Some stories are about well-known individuals, celebrated for their positive contributions to others, to society, and to the world. Many stories focus on everyday heroes; ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. People who rise to the occasion. People who sacrifice personal safety for the sake of others or dedicate their lives to a worthy cause. Both celebrities and everyday heroes serve as positive role models for students. Each portrait includes a teacher guide that highlights the desirable traits, including thinking questions and writing ideas about the story and character. 148 pages each.


Question Spinners Combo Kit

Each team receives their own colorful Question Spinners. A teammate gives the spinners a whirl and randomly generates one of 36 possible question starters across the levels of thinking: "What Is?", "How Might"?, "What Would?", and "Why Can?" Use the Question Spinners before a lesson to have students generate questions about what they want to learn, during a lesson to create thinking about the content, and after the lesson for reflection on what was learned. Students are so absorbed asking and answering their own questions that you are free to circulate from team to team for authentic assessment. Spanish version also available. Includes class set of eight spinners and storage pack.


SmartCard: Informational Texts

Finding good informational texts isn’t difficult. But getting students to read, understand, evaluate, and apply what they’re reading can be a challenge. That’s where this SmartCard comes in. This SmartCard provides strategies to engage students before, during, and after reading. From making predictions about the reading beforehand to reflecting on the reading afterwards, your students will be more interested in what they read and they’ll comprehend it much better, too. You’ll also find information to help you teach students about the structure of different types of texts as well as how to identify and use print features, organizational aids, and graphic aids. Each text feature is succinctly described along with an interactive activity idea to cement understanding of each text feature. Make the most of using informational texts of all types across all academic subject areas!
