Whenever I choose a novel as a read aloud for my class, I try to get the most bang for my buck. If I am going to spend 10-15 minutes each day reading aloud to my students, I want to be able to extend the novel with as many skills as possible. If your students are fans of the series, than this might be a great resource for you. Included in this resource are 5 pages of questions for each chapter. Your students will be able to work on those grammar and phonics skills they may be struggling on while enjoying a "big kid" book. This resource requires NO PREP. All the thought and planning has been done for you, breaking down each chapter into easy to read questions. ***PLEASE NOTE, this is a GUIDE and DOES NOT include the novel. This resource is intended to help target specific ELA skills while reading the novel.*** The skills this resource covers are: * rhyming (production and identification) * segmenting and blending * syllables * alliteration * isolation of sounds (beginning, middle, ending) * phoneme addition, switching and deletion * nouns (common and proper) * adverbs and adjectives * verbs (past and present) * sentences (subject and predicate) * each chapter also has a brief synopsis written with a cover page that includes a color picture indicating the highlights of the chapter This resource can be used on a SMART board or if you wanted to preserve it and make it a little more "presentation" style, you could have this printed and bound.
