Description
Do you want your students to learn to read and write like a scientist/ historian? This exemplary unit by Katie Knight contains everything you need to accomplish and address: The Common Core Informational Reading Standards and all 3 Text Types of Writing! Plus, you get a coordinating weekly art project for each unit!
Reading:
The reading can be done as whole-group shared reading, fluency, or as homework. After several reads of the passages, students have the vocabulary and strong foundation they need to make writing time a joy! Passages come in 3 formats.
1. Reading
2. Homework
3. Fluency
I have added an "Easy Reading" Passage for each unit so that you can do a "1 and done reading" Meaning you can read it once with your students and move on as time allows with writing or art. Passages have simpler text and 1-3 comprehension questions at the bottom of the page
Writing:
My students never complain about writing because they have a mind full of ideas after reading these quality passages. They simply cannot wait to share. They crave the repeated experience of success with paper and pencil provided through use of the materials in this unit (see below)
→ Pre-writing smart chart helps children process and write with ease.
→ Prompt and a darling made-to-match 3 idea-paragraph "Quick Write".
* The "quick write" is brilliant and easy to grade too!
* Kids read the given topic sentence, write 1 idea, fact, or reason
in each of three boxes and then they highlight their sense of closure!
→ Publish using one of the many final draft pages included.
Common Core Style Quiz:
Also included, are Social Studies or Science quizzes for each passage! Quizzes can be used for a grade or used as a close reading opportunity! Quizzes are designed in true Common Core format with multiple correct answers, sequencing, free response, and labeling. Your heart and your grade book are going to be full as you and your students enjoy this unit!

Passages have been written to be VERY readable for your first graders with teacher support. This is not independent reading, rather it is fitting the Common Core Shared Reading and Informational Text Research piece. My students read the passage with me every morning for 2 minutes. They squeal with joy each Monday morning when I give them their new passage and show them the art and writing!
