Additional text
As a fourth-grade teacher, I am always looking to integrate strategies that support my students as they build comprehension connections with nonfiction. The Structure Sort method offers students a concrete way to connect text structure and vocabulary, while also building on skills like predicting and summarizing. The Structure Sort organizers provide students a simple tool to read with a purpose and effectively analyze text structure.
