I love using functional text in the classroom because it gives students practice with authentic real world reading. It's easy to introduce the procedural text genre with this helpful, no-prep set of anchor charts and worksheets. These are so handy to use as your students explore a variety of authentic text examples!

What's Included:

• anchor chart
• anchor chart with examples of functional formats
• word wall card (with and without visual)
• matching worksheet (match functional formats to their purposes)
• functional text analysis worksheets (2 differentiated versions)

You can print the anchor charts to display or copy at a reduced size for interactive notebooks.

Please note that functional text samples are not included.
