Elementary School Phonics Graphic Organizers

Students love Kwame Alexander's verse novel The Crossover, and I love the rigor of these power worksheets! His novel is organized into sections just like a basketball game including:

• Warm-up
• Download the First quarter here
• Second quarter
• Third quarter
• Fourth quarter
• Overtime

This resource covers all of the poems in the Warm Up section; with each poem accompanying at least one page of guided practice with middle school ELA standards including:

• Vocabulary and dictionary practice
• Inferencing
• Identifying figurative language 
• Making text-to-self connections

Did you know The Crossover is coming to Disney+? The novel is set to release a miniseries in 2023! If your class loves this text, check out my other resources:
