Description
Do you need a resource that has a variety of ways students can practice identifying and finding context clues in by reading text, practice pages, task cards, and writing for your back to school materials? If you do, this one has a lot of variety. It's a great supplement to online district resources that might not have this kind of variety and a springboard for further research for science themes.
Finding context clues in text is a challenge for many students including my ESL students. I designed this packet especially for grades 4-5, but it could be used in higher grades so I included standards for grade 6 as well as for grades 4-5. This packet is differentiated so teachers can pick and choose which parts will work the best for their students.
These PDF pages are print and go; an easy to implement resource. There are 11 pages from this resource that are digital with NO PREP.
If you purchase open the green view files tab to get access to both the PDF and digital Easel pages. You can choose the pages for your student's devices. Simply go to edit pages and remove the ones you wish to remove for any given assignment. If you wish to change your selections you can revert back to the original pages and choose again.
When you click the "assign" tab you will get a code for Google Classroom. If you want to add more pages, go back to the "edit" pages tab and add pages from the original version.
I have used this for students who are independent learners in centers, as well as one-on-one tutoring situations so it is adaptable to what you need. Some pages could be adapted for use with other non-fiction selections of your choice with the exception of the tri-fold. The tri-fold was designed just for these particular task cards.
Included in this resource:
• Eight animal text task cards
• Context clue recording sheet
• Two Main idea graphic organizers
• Main idea (with context clues) quick-write with illustration
• Trifold organizer for context clue types (The trifold is best used in a guided fashion. Answer keys for the trifolds for each of the task cards was purposely left out so the teachers and students can search for context clues together and discuss their findings).
• Display Poster with the five types of context clues
• Two Context Clue Practice Pages
