Free Each Kindness Activities: Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Sample, Grades 3-5

Description

Want to try Better Than Basal before you buy? These free Each Kindness activities are the complete reading and writing set for Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson, taken straight from my Better Than Basal Volume 3. They’re ready to use with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.

The book is not included. It’s a favorite that most school libraries already have.

What’s included:

• A teaching page that lists the reading and writing skills that fit the book, with ideas for each one
• A character organizer that tracks how Chloe changes, using her traits, thoughts, words, and actions
• An inference organizer that builds from text evidence
• Answer keys for the organizers
• A writing prompt tied to the book’s theme

• All 40 Volume 3 books in Better Than Basal Volume 3, or everything for those books in the Yearlong Mentor Text Curriculum, Volume 3
