Comparing and Contrasting can be difficult for kids to learn but it doesn't have to be! In this fun and interactive video you and your students will learn about comparing stories and how to identify similarities and differences between them. We share two unique stories about kids in similar but different situations and help your student(s) practice comparing/contrasting skills. When completing this video (and the lesson plan with link below) students will learn the steps of comparing similar stories. Your students will also be able to successfully identify similarities in stories after comparison. These skills greatly affect a child's overall reading comprehension. The more they learn to compare and contrast the more they will be able to comprehend and even remember what they are reading. We hope you enjoy!
