Book Description
Teaching students to make connections across related texts promotes engagement and improves reading comprehension and content learning. This practical guide explains how to select and teach a wide range of picture books as paired text–two books related by topic, theme, or genre–in grades K-8. The author provides mini-lessons across the content areas, along with hundreds of recommendations for paired text, each linked to specific Common Core standards for reading literature and informational texts. In a large-size format for easy photocopying, the book includes 22 graphic organizers and other useful tools. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.
