Product description
From the author
Support Grade 5 Interpretation Book Clubs with 219 PowerPoint slides covering 20 sessions. The slides provide connections, teaching points, teaching prompts, active engagement, mid-workshop sharing and homework.
Use the slides alongside the corresponding reading curriculum and separately selected books. Preview each session and prepare its reading materials before class. The existing slide wording is embedded in pictures; you can reorder slides or add your own text boxes, but cannot directly edit that lettering.
