Reading Paired Text, Grade 2 - Teacher's Edition, Print

Table of Contents

Support your second-grade students in close reading discussions of nonfiction and fiction texts with practice that supports Common Core methodology.
 
Each unit contains two related reading selections that reflect second-grade science and social studies topics and are focused around a Big Question. For example, Does a magnet stick to all shiny things? (Big Question) connects “What Will a Magnet Attract?” (a nonfiction article) and “Magnificent Magnets” (a fictional story).
 
The activities in each unit help students:
·      Learn and apply academic vocabulary in context
·      Participate in oral close reading discussions
·      Answer comprehension questions
·      Write to a prompt with the help of a graphic organizer
 
This resource includes:
