Central Message

After our work we did with finding the theme of the books we were reading, we found the central message of each book. 

Students took a closer look into each book by wondering...
  • What does the author want me to know?
  • What does the character learn?

I always remember having a really difficult time finding the central message of the books that I was reading as a child, but I truly believe the work we did all year has helped make it easier for my first graders to complete this work. 

Here is the work we did with our mentor texts...


Students then found the central message in the books that they were reading!
