Literacy Tales

Where Stories Come Alive

This resource contains eight non-fiction texts about animal defenses.

There are two passages about animals that use camouflage, two about animals that use chemicals, two about animals that use mimicry, and two about animals that use another method of defense. The passages are written on different levels and are of different length making it easy to differentiate. There are corresponding recording sheets to help students show what they have read about.

The passages were written with fourth graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well.

☀️What others are saying about our top-selling Animal Adaptations reading passages:☀️

"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centers and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."

"Very user-friendly***!"***

As they read, students use clues from the text (text details) to make predictions and for most of the worksheets, they are asked to confirm whether or not they are correct as well as specify what actually happened. This is an excellent tool to set a "purpose for reading" and keep track of what's happening. These graphic organizers can encourage students to actively engage in reading!

✅ These Graphic Organizers can be used with whole group instruction, small group instruction, and with novel groups/literature circles. These graphic organizers can also be assigned as a "Purpose for Reading" during silent reading time, classwork, or homework! These can also be used as part of a larger lesson!

These differentiated graphic organizers align with the skill “Retell” from HMH. I created them with the language proficiency levels of ENL students in mind. They can support beginner/entering level to advanced/commanding ELLs! With 5 versions to choose from, your students will be able to retell in no time! 

All versions include the “I can” statement, visual examples and the HMH anchor chart for retell. The first page includes boxes for students to illustrate the events in the story, for students who are not writing yet. If students struggle to draw on their own, you can provide them with pictures of the BME of the story to cut and glue into the boxes. The second page includes boxes for students to draw along with primary lines and sentence starters. The next two pages include primary lines with varied support of sentence starters and sequence words. For more advanced students, the last two pages include single spaced lines with varied support of sentence starters and sequence words. All of the supports are combined into one paper for easy access when modifying material. This can be utilized with HMH Grades 1, 2 and 3 for English Language Learners, SWD or students who need additional support.

Literacy Tales

Where Stories Come Alive✎

This engaging resource contains five informational reading passages about unusual birds, adaptations, their environment, life cycle, and more. The passages are written on three different reading levels. There is an engaging graphic organizer for students to fill out as they read.

The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well. Even I learned things while researching! There is a tips sheet for teachers and a bird specific vocabulary sheet.

☀️What others are saying about our top-selling**, first Animal Adaptations resource:☀️**

"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centers and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."

"Very user friendly!"
