For children who are learning English as a second language, www.colorincolorado.org/reading-tip-sheets-parents consider these reading tip sheets. They are available in languages other than English at the bottom of the page.
In this unit, students will be exploring both narrative and informational biographies. Engage as a family to work together to write stories about yourself and your lives. Start by looking at photographs of your student, to give them ideas for their autobiographies. Have your student choose 4 photos. Use the Information About My Photos sheet to have them generate some details about each photograph. Then, work together to turn the details into complete sentences on the Planning My Story Sheet. Finally, use the Autobiography Pages to have your student write their own story.
