THE WIND BLEW

By: Pat Hutchins

What is reading without comprehension? The answer is nothing. That is why I am


developing a series of comprehension lessons throughout the year based on good
children’s literature.

The address label stickers on the following page can be attached permanently to
each book to help guide good comprehension questions. These questions are
excellent for parents, older students, and teachers alike. Just print on an address
label page and attach anywhere on the page of the book. If the book is not
numbered, page one will be the first page of the printed message. I recommend
numbering each book with a pencil so that you many find the page numbers easily.
HAPPY READING!

The following pages will be ideas for comprehension activities to be used with your
students. It is my hope that these activities reflect more authentic work done by
students rather than a worksheet. Graphic organizers will be used to help
students reflect what they know.

It is my passion to see students grow in knowledge and confidence into lifelong


readers. Elaine Carter

Rhyming Words
Looks the same Does NOT look the same

Rhyming words sound the same in the middle and at the end. However, they do not always
look the same.

Who Has Seen the Wind?

Who Has Seen the Wind?

BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

Who has seen the wind?


Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?


Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
