Introducing the Reading Skills Weather Wheel!

The wheel is divided into four wedges of weather. Each wedge is guarded by a mischievous fairy who will ask the students 3 questions. If they pass they could receive a valuable prize and many life points (which can be tallied on a board for a winner). If they fail these questions then they risk their points and even their life!

A few of the skills covered include: main idea, summary, context clues, author's purpose and more!

This is interactive and best played on an interactive whiteboard although not required.

The teacher plays the judge and jury. You will decide if they have answered the question to your standards. Then choose the thumbs up or thumbs down to send them on their next leg of their journey.

*** Includes PowerPoint and instruction sheet.
