WE'RE GOING ON A PUMPKIN HUNT BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

The trio encounter some obstacles on the way. But they're not scared! First up is a herd of cats! Next they are faced with sticky cobwebs to go through! Tickle-swish! Then the children come to a swarm of flying, flapping bats! Flap-flap! 

An old, dark, spooky house is not too scary for them. Through it they go, creaky-squeak! Oh, no! They find a ghost! Time to backtrack, through the spooky house, bats, cobwebs, and cats. What do you think they find when they get back home? Trick or treat!

My book studies contain companion activities that help to connect engaging read alouds, like We're Going on a Pumpkin Hunt, with important reading skills. 

This unit of book activities includes literacy components that will help your Kindergarten and First Grade students practice key reading skills as they engage in meaningful activities they love.

These book studies are packed with activities that will help your students develop story vocabulary, define the author's purpose, think about the story's main idea or theme, offer opinions and advice, recognize character development, notice cause & effect, and check for understanding with comprehension questions.

This book study unit can be used for whole class learning, 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!
