Because I could not find an Author’s Purpose resource geared toward 5th grade, I chose to purchase the 2nd grade material. I found this resource to be very useful with my EIP students!

“Wow!” is all I can say. This is a comprehensive bundle. If you need it, it’s here. I just started using it today and already I know this is one of the best purchases from TPT. It’s engaging for the students. It had them really thinking, not just filling in worksheets. This pack is everything you could want for teaching author’s purpose.
