What are Foldables

Foldables are multi-dimensional graphic

organizers that can be used for

skills reinforcement, practice,

and/or information organizing.

Why use Foldables

Not only do Foldables reinforce

skills and strategies essential

for reading success, they

provide a kinesthetic tool

for organizing and

analyzing learning.

Foldables 3

Dear Teacher,

A Foldable is a three-dimensional, student-

made (and/or teacher-made) interactive

graphic organizer based upon a skill. Making

a Foldable gives students a fast, kinesthetic

activity that helps them organize and retain

information either before, during, or after

reading. In this section of the Teacher’s

Resource Book, you will ﬁ nd instructions for

making Foldables, as well as ideas on how to

use them to reinforce and practice phonics, vocabulary, spelling,

and comprehension skills.

In this section, you will ﬁ nd Foldables to help you

• replace photocopied activity sheets with student-generated

• present content and skills in a clear, visual, kinesthetic format

• incorporate the use of such skills as comparing and

contrasting, recognizing cause and effect, and ﬁ nding

similarities and differences

• assess student progress and learning levels

• immerse students in new and previously learned vocabulary

and reading skills

• teach students unique ways to make study guides and

practice materials, and

• provide students with a sense of ownership in their learning.

I am excited to hand these Foldable ideas and activities over to

you and your students. Have fun using, adding to, and amending

them to meet individual needs.

Sincerely,

4 Foldables

Creating and Storing Foldables

As you use the Foldables outlined in this Teacher’s Resource Book,

discuss with students how they can adapt them to make their own

Foldables learning and study aids. Teach students to write—titles,

vocabulary words, concepts, skills, questions, main ideas—on the

front tabs of their Foldables. By doing this, key concepts are viewed

every time a st udent looks at a Foldable. Foldables help students

focus on and remember the information presented without being

distracted by other print. Remind students to write more speciﬁ c

information—supporting ideas, examples of a concept, deﬁ nitions,

answers to questions, observations—under the tabs.

Turn one-gallon freezer bags into student portfolios and storage

containers for Foldables.

Cut the bottom corners off each bag so they won’t

hold air and will stack and store easily.

Write student names across the top of the plastic

portfolios with a permanent marker and cover the

writing with two-inch clear tape to keep it from

wearing off.

Place a piece of cardboard inside each portfolio to

give it strength and to act as a divider.

Store Foldables in a giant laundry soap box. Or,

students can carry their portfolios in a three-ring

binder if you place a strip of two-inch clear tape

along one side and punch three holes through the

taped edge.

Answer Mitt Foldable

Materials:

• Copying Master on page 39

• scissors

• glue stick

• colored paper

Directions:

1. Copy the pattern onto colored paper.

2. Have children fold the mitt so the ﬁ ngertips touch each other.

3. Then have children cut out the mitt shape.

4. Have them cut along the fold an inch or so in from the bottom

edge. They may then fold up the ﬂ aps.

5. To complete the mitt, have children glue the thumbs of the mitt

together so a pocket is formed. They may also glue the edges

of the wrist ﬂ aps to make holders for letter cards.

Using the Answer Mitt Foldable

For any skills instruction, children can use the mitt to answer

questions that have two possible responses. The mitt can be used

with letter cards or picture cards (from pages 66 –87 of this book),

yes/no cards, and word cards (from pages 90 –149 of this book).

When children use the Answer Mitt Foldable in whole class or small

group instruction, you will be better able to monitor their progress.

Using the Picture Frame Foldable

Vocabulary and Phonics/Spelling Applications

Students can glue pictures or draw pictures in the frame to

reinforce a vocabulary word or concept. On the inside of the book,

they can write or dictate sentences about the word or concept.

Comprehension Application

To reinforce character study, have students illustrate a story

character and write or dictate sentences about the character.

The same sort of activity can be done with the following skills:

• Setting/plot

• Main idea/details

• Retelling a scene

Grammar Application

Have students use the frame to illustrate a noun or a verb. Then

have them write or dictate sentences about the word.

12 Foldables

Picture Frame Foldable

Materials:

• one sheet of 8½  11 paper in a bright color

• one sheet of 11  17 paper

• scissors

• glue

Directions:

1. Fold the 8½  11 paper into a hot

dog.

2. Starting at the fold, cut a frame

shape (as illustrated). Set aside.

3. Fold the 11  17 paper into a

hamburger.

4. Glue the paper frame to the front

side of the hamburger.

Foldables 13

Using the Shutter Foldable

Phonemic Awareness/Phonics/Spelling Application

Use the Shutter Foldable to review contractions and compound words

with students. The outside panels can be used to demonstrate the

two parts of the word. Students can use the middle inside panel to

write out the contraction or complete compound word.

Comprehension Application

There are many ways to use the Shutter Foldable to review and

study comprehension skills. Larger paper can be used so that a

small group or a class can create one of these for literacy study.

Consider having students retell or summarize the story on the

middle inside panel. Then have them use the outer panels to

analyze the following:

• Facts and Opinions (for nonﬁ ction)

• Cause and Effect

• Before and After

• Fantasy and Reality

• Pros and Cons (for persuasion)

• Problem and Solution

• Compare and Contrast

• Phonics for Primary Grades

Large Shutter Foldables can be stored in

an empty (and clean!) pizza box.

• word parts

• preﬁ xes and sufﬁ xes

• using context clues

• using a dictionary

Phonemic Awareness/Phonics Application

Accordion Book Foldable

Directions

Materials:

• several sheets of 11  17 paper

• glue

Directions:

1. Fold each sheet of paper like a

hamburger, but fold one side half

an inch shorter than the other side.

This will form a tab that is half an

inch long.

2. Fold this tab forward over the

shorter side, then fold it back

away from the shorter piece of

paper. (In other words, fold it the

opposite way.)

3. To form an accordion, glue a

straight edge of one section into

the valley of another section’s tab.

Before gluing, stand the sections

on end to form an accordion. This

will help you see how to glue the

sections together. Use different

colors of paper to indicate sections

of the book. Always place the extra

tab at the back of the book so you

can add more pages later.

Tips!

Foldables 37

Using the Pyramid Foldable

Use this Foldable with data occurring in threes.

Vocabulary Application

The Pyramid Foldable can be used to sort and review concepts

studied. For example, review three different inﬂ ectional endings

(-s, -e, -ies or -tion, -sion, -cion).

Phonics/Spelling Application

Students can sort words into three categories. Some examples:

• Short vowels (a,e,i) or long vowels (o_e, oa, o)

• Blends (sl, st, sw) or consonant digraphs

• Inﬂ ected endings (-s, -e, -ies or -ial, -tion, -ious)

Comprehension Application

Not only can students use the pyramid to record information about

what they read, they can do it in a few different ways. With one

pyramid they can do things such as the following:

• Compare three different story characters

• Create a K-W-L chart

• Record information about story beginning, middle, and end

Students can glue together three pyramids to create small

dioramas depicting scenes (from ﬁ ction) and concepts (from

nonﬁ ction).
