Summarizing Fiction & Non-Fiction Texts Chart
I created this chart to help students retell or write summaries of texts they read. As a reading specialist I work with many students in small groups or 1:1.

As I scaffold their instruction I usually start to slowly offer it less and less until they can remember all of the important parts to include in each genre. For some classes I have also enlarged it to a poster s

Personal Narrative Rubric for Students and Teachers - ALL-IN-ONE FORM
In an effort to teach my students how to self-monitor their learning, I created a combination checklist and rubric for the personal narrative unit of study. I tinkered with several versions of this rubric/checklist before I came up with this one. I think this is a user-friendly document for teachers and students since it allows the student to self-assess, allows the teacher to assess the child, and gives the teacher some space for feedback.
