3rd Grade SOL-Embedded Lesson Plan

The SOL Embedded Lesson Plan came about after hearing Thomas Santangelo, VDOE English and Reading Specialist, speak about how to place comprehension strategies into the before-during-after framework for reading. He presented the Triple Venn Diagrams below to illustrate the concept. This information led me to create the SOL Embedded Lesson Plan. The first plan is a planning sheet to assure that SOLs are taught to the rigor needed, although not all standards need to be embedded with each lesson taught. The second plan is blank so that teachers can use it to write plans. I hope you find this beneficial to the instruction of your students.
