Flat lays of reading comprehension strategy templates

When it comes to teaching reading comprehension strategies, templates are a teacher’s best friend. That’s why we created these printables, and we designed them so that you could use them for just about any kind of text (narrative, expository, persuasive … you name it!). We also left lots of room so that pre-literate students can draw their responses. Plus, each printable gives students an explanation of the strategy and includes important definitions.

Here’s what’s included in our free Reading Comprehension Strategies bundle:
