All About Amphibians Nonfiction Unit
Are you teaching your students all about amphibians? This packet includes guided reading strategies to learn all about frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and more. There are two printable mini books included. One is all about amphibians and the other is comparing frogs to toads. There are also research projects for 4 different amphibians. I use this packet to integrate reading as well as research. I also included lesson plans for you to browse how I’ve used this packet in my classroom.
