The literature and informational reading units you will have 40+ lessons that teach all of the Common Core reading literature and informational standards for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade.

The lessons are typically brief overviews of the CCSS vocabulary terms, with a focus on practicing the skill. For example, for the inferences lesson, students will briefly review/learn what inferences are and then there are pictures and short passages for students to practice making inferences on. This is done for each of the 25 lessons.

These lessons and corresponding pages become the notes that students reference as we head into our novel units found in my growing bundle.

The theme, character traits, and genre include everything you need to dig deeper into theme, character traits, and genres in upper grades.

As an upper grade teacher, I often find that I assume my students have an understanding of literary information like genres, themes, and character traits. My 5th-8th graders tend to have a basic and simple understanding of things like genre, theme, and character traits, but I want them to really be able to analyze and dig deep into these concepts and that is the reason for these types of units.

Each unit includes the following:

• Mini-lessons
• Interactive notebook pages with examples
• Common-core standard alignment
• Teacher data collections sheets
