Each mini unit in this bundle will include resources to introduce or review the skills to your 3rd graders. The units are aligned to the Common Core standards. However, they are also rooted in providing a foundation for the skills that are crucial to reading comprehension. The units include stand-alone resources such as reading comprehension passages, questions, exit slips, and activities. But each unit also includes recommended chapter and picture books that will support you in teaching each skill.
What is included in each unit?
