I have been using these close reading lessons with my 2nd graders and absolutely love them! The Empty Pot lesson really helped them with our unit on fables and morals.

I love doing this lesson with my ESL students. The story is rich with vocabulary and the theme is very easy to understand. After teaching the lesson to my 2nd grade students they were able to understand the difference between theme and main Idea. This lesson was awesome. Thanks Read Works!!
