Description
Short story units are popular with teens...and fun to teach! What's NOT fun is making individual reading guides for every short story we teach. This build-your-own reading guide is a great print or digital resource for anyone who is looking for a practical, reliable tool that students can use for any piece of literature - short story, play, or novel.
READING SKILLS COVERED
This short story or novel reading guide requires students to predict, summarize, connect, question, visualize, infer, and analyze. Terms like conflict, plot, and characterization, text evidence, pacing, author's style, and theme are included. Questions are aligned with Common Core Reading Literature Standards.
Please note, this build-your-own short story reading guide resource now includes a GOOGLE SLIDES version that can be used with any narrative book or short story.
USES
I use the same reading guide with multiple short stories when I want students to move from teacher-led instruction to small group or partner practice and then finally to independent work. The pages in this document would work well with any short story or narrative novel.
To build your own reading guide, just select the pages you want students to focus on depending on their reading skill needs.
The build-your-own structure allows for responsive teaching and saves time!
This short story reading guide contains twelve different pages students could complete. These options give you differentiation abilities. They are perfect for modeling expectations, guiding class or small group discussions, brainstorming for a written response to literature, and more.
FORMATS: SECURE PDF AND GOOGLE SLIDES
IS IT EDITABLE?
This text on this resource is not editable. The font and clipart is secured on each Google Slides document. (See the preview to get a clear picture of what is included.) However, you can change the slide backgrounds, add additional slides, or remove some to fit your needs.
Happy reading, and please leave feedback! I love hearing how teachers use materials in their classrooms.
NOTE: This resource is also included in a larger bundle, Reading Literature and Informational Texts Graphic Organizer Activity Bundle.
