Arthur Unit

Arthur stories by Marc Brown are a class favorite. They are also a wonderful teaching tool. We've been using this Arthur unit to:

  • Use appropriate comprehension skills and strategies
  • Interpret and respond to literature
  • Write a variety of types of texts
  • Communicate effectively
Throughout this unit, we are focusing on Making Connections, Visualizing and Summarizing. The kids are responding well and as the unit has progressed, the kids have been able to make more Text-to-Text connections. Unsure what that is? Ask your child! :)
Visualizing how the characters were feeling
