About the Teaching Slides Presentations
The presentation is a great way to teach or review the reading skill. It works well if you project it on your interactive whiteboard as a whole group lesson, but you could also assign it independently through your digital learning platform as a reference for your students.
The teaching presentation includes a variety of types of slides…
- Vocabulary
- Questions
- Answers
- Short stories
- Longer stories with comprehension questions
- Brainstorming
- Interactive activities
Interactive Elements:
The presentation encourages participation by asking students questions and encouraging them to answer as they go. Add in more interactive elements as needed to keep your students engaged and interacting with the content.
The presentations are NOT editable. Due to copyright restrictions and the terms of use of design components used, the presentations are not editable. You are able to delete or reorder slides as needed. Thank you for understanding.
Note: Some of the longer passages have discussion questions included on the slides. They are NOT included in the student printables. These are not always related to the skill, but optional discussion questions you may wish to use for conversations or “turn and talk” opportunities.
Accessing the Presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint:
If you want to access the slideshow in Microsoft PowerPoint instead of Google Slides, simply make a copy to your drive, then follow these steps:
- Open the Google Slides file.
- Click: File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)
- The file will download to your computer and you will be able to open it in PowerPoint.
