This Very Tree Resource Packet

Take your read-aloud of This Very Tree by Sean Rubin beyond discussion with this 25-page Complete Literacy Resource Packet designed for grades 2–5. Through the story of the 9/11 Survivor Tree, students explore point of view, visual storytelling, resilience, remembrance, recovery, and rebuilding while strengthening comprehension and evidence-based thinking.
 
This ready-to-use packet includes explicit vocabulary instruction, reading strategy support, think-alouds, graphic organizers, discussion cards, sequencing and cause-and-effect activities, writing planners, assessment tools, DOK 1–4 tasks, and a complete answer key with teacher look-fors.
 
Students learn to look beyond the words and read the book's sequential art panels for meaning, examine the author's choice to tell the story from the tree's point of view, support ideas with evidence, and connect the tree's recovery to the rebuilding of the city.
