HI FLY GUY
We just LOVE Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold. We began the year with a book study using a simple chapter book. This made students very excited- they read a 'chapter book'!
This entertaining story, paired with these book companion activities, helps students in First Grade and Second Grade practice essential literacy and reading comprehension skills in a fun and engaging way! To make it even more special, it's about Fly Guy- a pet fly to a boy named Buzz. :)
HI FLY GUY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS
This book study unit is packed with fun activities that will help your First Grade and Second Grade students with story elements, making predictions, character traits, making text to self connections, author's purpose, main idea, making inferences, vocabulary, writing, giving opinions and advice, problem and solution, story retell, reading comprehension, and much more!
These activities can be used for whole class instruction, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!
This Hi Fly Guy book companion will save you tons of planning time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!
Want to make sure you are hitting the reading standards for First Grade or Second Grade? This resource includes ELA standards charts for Common Core, TEKS and VA SOL, showing you exactly which skills your students are learning while doing these activities!
WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING
Students worked to "dig into" the story. Great close reading practice!
Here are some of the focus vocabulary words I pulled from the story.
We talked about each character's traits and the story elements and answered questions about each of the chapters in the book.
Text-to-self connections allowed students to relate the book to their own experiences.
