Hey ya'll, I am looking to purchase a good resource that features mini-lessons focused on reading for 5th grade. I am looking for a book that features inferencing, synthesizing, author's purpose, and so forth. Any suggestions? Thanks
I would suggest Guiding Readers and Writers by Fountas and Pinnell, and Comprehension and Fluency also by Fountas and Pinnell. This is where I get ideas for all of my minilessons. Then to teach the minilesson I would suggest good picture books. Here is a link that offers some book suggestions for the various skills. http://cfbstaff.cfbisd.edu/librarymcwhorter/reading_resources.htm
