Do your students ever struggle with finding, citing, and using text evidence when they read? Helping our students learn how to use text evidence is such an important part of reading. This set of 8 ready-to-print small group lesson plans will help you teach your students to collect, cite, and use text evidence when they read! From lessons on knowing how to annotate and note take to lessons on how to use direct quotes and paraphrase to lessons on using evidence-based terms. This set of 8 small group lesson plans has everything you need to teach all things related to text evidence.

And the best part is you won’t have to hunt for a reading passage that is aligned to the specific skill you want to teach. Each small group lesson set includes a scripted teacher lesson plan, a reading passage, a strategy card (aka mini-anchor chart), and a response sheet that is aligned to a text-evidence-related objective.

Let’s be honest. The closer we get to test prep season, the more important it is that students know how to find evidence to prove their answers. Not that we want all of our reading instruction to be focused on test prep, but it’s great when we teach them a reading objective that will help them become a lifelong reader and prepare them to be successful on their state test. The resources in this lesson set will definitely do both!

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET:

• 8 Scripted out teacher lesson plans (perfect for small group instruction)
• 10 Reading Passages (aligned to the specific lesson objective)
• 10 Response pages (includes graphic organizer and response questions)
• 15 Strategy Cards (mini-anchor charts)
• Answer Key
• Digital Version
• Teacher Guide

LET’S BREAK DOWN EACH LESSON ELEMENT:

• Scripted Teacher Lesson Plan – The small group lesson plans provide you with the exact language you need to say to make sure your students are mastering the objective for the lesson. It also provides you with a really easy-to-implement lesson framework that works great for small group lessons.
• Strategy Card – Each lesson also comes with a strategy card (like a mini anchor chart). This strategy card works great as a visual support during your lesson and students can take it with them at the end of the lesson.
• Student Passage – Each passage is short (less than one full page) so it can quickly be read during a small group lesson.  It is also written in a way that makes it really easy for the students to practice and apply the focus skill. You won’t have to worry if the text you give your students will work for the lesson objective.
• Response Page – If you want to extend your lesson or give your students an extension assignment, you can give them the response page which includes a graphic organizer focused on the lesson objective and three comprehension questions.
• Digital Version – There is also a digital version created using Google Slides so this resource will work during both face-to-face and virtual instruction.
• Answer Key – This resource includes an answer key with possible answers.
