My class had a great time discovering the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne.
I decided to do guided reading a little differently...students were allowed to choose any book they wanted to do as an individual book study.
They were so excited to choose and get started...
Settled in...read...and enjoy!
After their book was finished, they filled in response pages that made students dig into their stories.
Some activities were text-to-self connections, others were comprehension questions. There were activities to story map and to bring out the main elements in the story. Others pages gave students opportunities to think about and share their opinions!
After our studies were completed, we did a Paper Bag Book Club, where students could eat some popcorn and share about their books with others in the group.
It was fun to compare & contrast books from the series. And the best part...they were inspired to read even MORE Magic Tree House books!
