Teaching reading strategies is important for students in elementary.  I love using wordless picture books to help teach reading strategies for comprehension and I think you will too!  Not only have I shared mentor texts to use but also lessons and activities for teachers to use to teach reading strategies effectively in the primary grades.  These  activities are engaging and fun for teaching reading strategies for kids.
