Lesson Package | Author’s Purpose Reading Comprehension Unit

This resource is designed to help students improve reading comprehension by learning to identify the author’s purpose in different texts. It provides teachers with step-by-step support using the gradual release model, moving from introduction to guided practice and then independent work. The set includes teacher tips, anchor charts, an engaging introductory activity with sorting cards, a guided practice text with think-aloud questions, task cards at three levels, independent response sheets, and strategy bookmarks. It is ideal for teachers who want structured tools to build students’ understanding of author’s purpose through clear instruction and practice.
