Products in this Bundle (2)
Description
This is the perfect no-prep reading comprehension activity to start in your classroom for either digital learning, distance learning, or in-person instruction. Use the Seminars resource to help students read, understand and discuss non-fiction texts chosen by you or them (articles not included). Use the Literature Circles resource to help students develop their reading comprehension and text analysis skills.
Both are perfect for developing deeper-level thinking and inferencing strategies for upper-elementary or middle school students.
Please note: the articles & novels are NOT included but I have included suggestions!
