Your March 2021 Teacher's Guide

Dear Teachers,

  We know you’re working hard to sharpen your striving readers’ skills as we head into the final stretch of the school year. That’s why we wanted to point out how you can dig in beyond the current issue and find the support your students need.

Here are three ways to use Action Digital for skills practice:

1- Search the archives for texts that provide activities on inferences,text evidence, and more! 

2- Share our skills videos if students need extra help. They’re perfect differentiation tools for independent learning. 

3- Practice with our evergreen activities and graphic organizers, which work with any article.

Need help finding our library of skills videos and evergreen activities?
You’ll find a link at the top of the home page this month.

Warmly,

Kim Tranell, Editorial Director
