No More Chairs – No-Prep Reading and Writing Lesson Plan – Print & Digital

Description

“No More Chairs” by Dan Gill is a fantastic picture book that is perfect to use as you work to build reading comprehension strategies–and get students responding to literature, citing text evidence, and studying characters and theme. This new picture boook is so powerful–and there is so much to talk about with students!

This ready-to-use, no-prep reading and writing resource gives you the following to help use it well:

✅ Projectable slides with comprehension questions (before, during, and after reading)

✅ A standards-based teaching point — This one talks about “stories within stories” and flashbacks.

✅ Vocabulary support: 3–4 focus words with definitions, examples, and writing extension

✅ Accountable talk stems to build discussion skills

✅ 2 writing prompts with planning pages and a revision checklist

✅ Blackline printables and digital access included

This is one of my picture book “Quick Win” resources created to help you be more efficient AND effective. How?

• These Picture Book “Quick Wins” are designed to be NO prep, yet meaningful guides to use with popular, quality picture books you may own or have in your library.

• They are meant to be projected with your students as you read, so they are completely ready to use. All writing components can be sent digitally or printed to use as well.

• Each “Quick Win” guides you with deep comprehension work before you read, while you read, and after you read. Comprehension moves from a basic “in the text” level and extends beyond the text as well.

• Each “Quick Win” also has a key comprehension strategy “teaching point”. These learning targets are all standards-based and push students toward that deeper comprehension.

• Several important vocabulary words are highlighted and explicitly taught to build language experiences with students. Students self-assess their familiarity with the words, then learn what they mean and how they are used in the text. The option to have your students write sentences using the new words is available as well.

• Want to get your students writing and talking about texts—and, specifically, citing text evidence to prove their ideas? This resource is perfect for that!
