Practice reading skills while using a picture as a text! An easy way to increase student engagement. Ideal for Upper Elementary students.
**This resource is a compliment to my Write the Photo resource. They both use the same photographs. Therefore, students can use the same photograph to practice both their reading and writing skills for the day or week. Interested in both resources? Grab the $$$ saving bundle HERE!
This Read the Photo resource is perfect for any reader, especially struggling readers, to practice specific reading skills without trying to navigate a challenging text at the same time.
