Reading Comprehension with Storyboard Narratives

Storyboard Narratives for Reading Comprehension Practice

 

I am thrilled to have completed my first collection of storyboard narratives just in time for the fall season! These storyboard narratives are perfect for reading comprehension practice and standard test preparation. Each narrative is presented in a storyboard format, providing students with inviting and realistic fall themes. Unlike a blank storyboard, styled like a graphic organizer for students to fill in, these are completed stories. Each story has eight sections, with illustrations and rhymes. This format will enable students to view the entire story from beginning to end on a single page. By viewing the whole story at a glance, students can easily track plot developments and visually see changes in settings throughout the story. 

 

Look at all ten narratives to foster your students' reading comprehension skills this fall.

 

 

Here are the product details:

1. Reading Level Variety: An analysis of the text for each story using the Flesch-Kincaid measurement tool shows reading levels ranging from second to fifth grade, ensuring that all students can find a story that suits their reading level. Most stories are ideal for second, third, and fourth graders. A detailed chart showing the reading levels of each narrative is available in the preview file at my shop.

 

2. Multiple-Choice Quizzes: Use the multiple-choice quizzes as exit tickets. The fill-in-the-bubble format is ideal for standardized test practice. 

3. Adaptable Use: These storyboard narratives are not just for reading in small groups. They can be used in comprehension centers for focused practice, collaborative learning, during fall family reading nights, or sent home for additional practice and family engagement. Additionally, the stories are adaptable for students who may not yet be at the text's reading level. Teachers can read the stories aloud, turning the quizzes into listening comprehension exercises rather than reading comprehension activities. Their adaptability makes them a valuable addition to any learning environment.

 

4. Two Formats Included: Included are black-and-white and color versions of the storyboards to suit your classroom needs. 

 

5. Extension Activities: The extension activities deepen reading comprehension. If desired, complete them before students take the quizzes. These activities include writing prompts, sequencing tasks, a math story problem, estimation with reasonable magnitude activity, a corn maze, a cryptogram, a crossword puzzle, and more. For full details, see the product preview file.

 

6. Ten Fall-Themed Stories: All stories are centered around fall, making them a perfect seasonal addition to your curriculum.
