⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pukeko Studio says, "I found this resource really useful, and used quite a bit of it to put together my own unit to teach. There are some great ideas in this resource.."

❤️ this TpT BEST SELLER either all at once or take your time throughout the year as your students learn to become critical researchers, readers and skilled writers of explanatory texts.

Whilst It is mainly targeted at middle to upper elementary age groups, feedback from our junior high school teachers tells us there is more than enough here to also deliver a great unit in that age group.

This Resource is compatible with DISTANCE LEARNING platforms such as Google Classroom, SeeSaw and Office 365.  Students can confidently WORK INDEPENDENTLY on these, or you can EDIT this unit of work to best suit your needs and share it with your CLASSROOM. It also includes a PRINT VERSION.

The entire collection is provided to you in EDITABLE PowerPoint and as a printable PDF eBook. Each lesson is a complete plan that eliminates your preparation time, but you can easily do so if you need to modify the content to suit a particular class.

This HUGE BUNDLE offers a mix of hands-on, printable, and digital media resources. By the time you have finished this pack, your students won’t just be able to READ and COMPREHEND Explanations but will also be WRITING their own with a high STRUCTURE level INSIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE.
