Reading Strategies & SkillsMini Anchor ChartsIncludes 13 Mini Anchor Charts to help teach these readingskills and strategies: Plot StructureMain IdeaSummaryThemeCharacterizationPoint of ViewAuthor’s PurposeInferenceCause & EffectFormulating QuestionsMaking PredictionsFact & OpinionMaking Connectionscreated by Two Teachers with Style Copyright 2016
Teacher Tips Give your students these mini anchor charts to glue in their readingjournals to remember some of the different components of readingcomprehension. I suggest making each student a copy and as you introduce eachcomprehension component, your students can add a mini anchorchart to their reading journal. Consider spending a few days discussing each comprehensioncomponent before introducing the next one. Encourage students to go back in their journals to reference the minianchor charts if they are confused about the comprehensioncomponents and the role they play in their independent reading.created by Two Teachers with Style Copyright 2015
