This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with Stellaluna, The Lorax, The Memory String, The Polar Express, and The Stranger.

These resources can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these them a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop. Each lesson plan follows the format of a mini lesson and provides an opportunity for students to turn and talk about how they identify the author’s purpose while reading. Students will also have the opportunity to practice the strategy with a page by page guided “worksheet” and write about their reading with a common core aligned Reader’s notebook prompt.

Here's What You'll Get and Why:

My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about books through the lens of comprehension strategies. This book bundle will help you teach readers how to identify the author’s purpose while reading popular picture books for third grade readers. You’ll get the following set of resources for each book:
- Identifying the Author's Purpose Comprehension Strategy Lesson Plan
- Page by Page Practice Worksheets
- Answer Keys
- Text Specific Reader’s Notebook Prompts
- Identifying the Author’s Purpose Graphic Organizer
- Complete Common Core Alignment

You’ll also get a set of Identifying the Author’s Purpose Task Cards that can be used with early finishers or as an extension activity for all students.

Last, I’ve included an Identifying the Author’s Purpose Poster for your classroom library. Hang the poster in your classroom to remind your students what good readers do. You could also make copies of the covers of each of the books used in this book bundle and hang them with the poster to remind students of the work they did while reading each of the books.

I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of “ Stellaluna, The Lorax, The Memory String, The Polar Express, and The Stranger.”

If you have any questions about the resources included in this set please email me at Amy@BookPagez.com. It will be my pleasure to reply and help you in any way I can.
