Reading A-Z Book Comprehension Checks

Do you have a subscription to Reading A-Z in your classroom? Do you feel like the comprehension checks aren't the best fit for all your students? Well, guess what? I have made comprehension checks with visuals to go along with many of the Reading A-Z stories.

These comprehensions checks have been a game changer for my classroom. Some of my students are able to answer the questions independently and others are able to answer using the choices after I read them the questions.

To differentiate, I have made some comprehension checks with two answer choices as seen above.

If you would like a copy of these comprehension checks, please click here. Please make sure to make a copy!

Here is a list of the checks I have currently. More will be added as I make them. I will try to update the list every month!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me!

In my classroom, I have multiple levels of students so when making the mats I knew I needed to differentiate so I made mats with just two pictures as well. The exciting part about me differentiating is that it serves multiple purposes. I also made another copy and made it into a book to read and have st

Explicit Alphabet Knowledge Instructional Routine

Explicit Alphabet Knowledge Instructional Routine Let's talk about the Explicit Alphabet Knowledge Instructional Routine. I use this routine daily in my classroom. We go through a letter a day. When we finish with the letters of the alphabet, we cycle back through to letters that were not mastered. Below, I am going to provide a detailed explanation on how I use the routine in my classroom. Steps 1 and 2: Letter Identification 1. This is the letter (letter name). This is the uppercase letter (letter name). This is the lowercase letter (letter name). (Show and/or write the uppercase and then the lowercase letter.) 2. Let’s practice naming this letter. What is this letter? (Point to upper- and lowercase letters in different orders at least three times, asking students to say the letter name.) If students do not use speech to communicate, then say, “Let’s practice naming this letter. You say it to yourself while I will say it aloud.” The student can also use their AAC device t
