Here’s What You’ll Get and Why:
My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about The Brain: All about Our Nervous System and More! using a variety of comprehension strategies. That’s why I’ve included page by page lesson plans, guided practice worksheets, and text specific reader’s notebook prompts for the following strategies:
Retelling and Summarizing
Determining Importance
Asking Questions
Understanding Text Structure
Synthesizing
I also created an Extension Activity for early finishers.
Next, I find that vocabulary instruction works best when it’s done within the context of books that students are already reading. That’s why I’ve included the following vocabulary resources:
Vocabulary Word List
Flash Cards (match words to pictures and match words to definitions)
Interactive Vocabulary Notebook Cards
Vocabulary Word Games Printable
Personal Vocabulary Word Bookmark
I’ve also included a word study lesson plan and set of activities, because, much like vocabulary, I find that word study works best within context. As a result, I have identified word patterns within trade books and have developed lesson plans and resources based on the word study that can be done with specific books. The lesson plan and set of resources for The Brain: All about Our Nervous System and More! focuses on Affixes (Latin & Greek Prefixes and Suffixes and includes the following:
Lesson Plan
Interactive Activity
Practice Page
Independent Word Work
This set of resources also includes the following:
Running Record Assessment
Answer Keys
Spanish translation of the comprehension strategy practice pages, reader’s notebook prompts (complete with Spanish Common Core “I Can” statements), and extension activities for use with The Brain: All about Our Nervous System and More!
BONUS: Surprise Sample Resource
I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of The Brain: All about Our Nervous System and More! by Seymour Simon.
