Text Specific Reader’s Notebook Prompts Retelling and Summarizing Comprehension Strategy Lesson Plan You’ll get the following set of resources for each book: This book bundle will help you teach readers how to retell and summarize while reading popular picture books for first grade readers. My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about books through the lens of comprehension strategies. Students will also have the opportunity to practice the strategy with a page by page guided “worksheet” and write about their reading with a common core aligned Reader’s notebook prompt. Each lesson plan follows the format of a mini lesson and provides an opportunity for students to turn and talk about how they retell and summarize while reading. These resources can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these them a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop. This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with A Color of His Own, Biscuit's First Trip, Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook, and Rosie's Walk.
