Daniel's Story Comprehension Guide/Activities

This unit is an active comprehension unit plan that can be used to teach the novel, Daniel’s Story, to fourth-sixth grade students. In order to create lifelong readers, teachers must enforce strategies to make students become active readers in the classroom. Active readers engage with the text in a number of different ways. They create mental images as they read text, think in sequence and make connections to their own lives and other text they have studied. In my unit plan, there are many different types of activities offered that allow students to build learning bridges and improve their active reading skills.

Each chapter is developed with a bell ringer, exit slip, multi-level comprehension questions, digital activity, and open-ended response journal topic.

There is also a text-evidence journal writing activity and research project included.
