Lesson Plan Description

We learn to infer (and read) from pictures first!  In this bundle of lessons your students will:

  • Segment 1: Ask and answer questions based on information in pictures and engage in collaborative conversations by posing or responding to specific questions.
  • Segment 2: Use informational text features to understand the meanings of new words and define the role of an informational text author. In addition, they will know and use text features (e.g., bold print, title, subheadings, glossaries) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.
  • Segment 3: Ask and answer questions about key details in a text in order to identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.

These lessons can be taught over the span of a half day or you can use the lessons independently, broken up over several days.
