If you are a middle school language arts teacher, then you teach reading skills. There is a certain “finesse” that you will need to do this well at the middle school level. This is the seventh and final episode in a mini-series on teaching reading skills to our middle schoolers. This episode focuses on how to teach theme.
Teaching theme in literature is a skill you’ll want kids to have now and throughout their academic careers. Understanding these concepts gives kids a deeper understanding of characters and conflict. So we will be talking all things reading skills, specifically theme.
We will discuss:
- Why teach theme in literature
- General tips on teaching reading skills
- What to include in a lesson on theme
- Practice with theme – activities for kids
