These trifolds are made for use with the story Because of Winn-Dixie. Use one section of the trifold each day to teach important reading comprehension and text analysis skills.
Each section of the trifold is designed to be a single day's reading lesson. This
includes reading the selection, discussing important vocabulary and the question of the day, and giving students time to respond. Depending on your class and the time you have allotted for reading instruction, you may have time to do 2 sections per day.
In addition, I have included an instructional guide that includes the day’s reading, teaching point, academic vocabulary covered in the trifold, and chapter vocabulary that may be challenging.
These lessons can be adapted for grades 3-6 depending on the level of pre-teaching and support you provide your students. One way to help struggling learners is to read as a class and discuss the day's question as a class before students go to work independently. This gives them a number of options to help them develop their ideas. For more advanced students, this can be used to support an independent novel study or small group.
I hope you find these trifolds and the accompanying
word wall cards useful in crafting your novel study.
To easily print this trifold, use the following options on your print menu:
• Pages to print: All
• Size: Fit (or fit to page)
• Check "Print on both sides of paper"
• Click to "Flip on short edge"
