Description

This free sample provides a week of contextual vocabulary activities designed with researched best practices to use with the mentor text, Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson. (Book not included.)

Vocabulary must be taught in context for students to truly understand the words and build relationships with them, and then, in turn, use them in writing and speaking. Move away from lists of vocabulary words and looking up definitions, and teach students how to comprehend with this best practice pack!

*****************************************************************************
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

There is a Sample Mentor Sentence Lesson for this book, as well as free Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Activities for this book, if you’d like to try it out.
