Frog and Toad Are Friends {A Book Study}

This resource is a reader's notebook book study for Frog and Toad Are Friends, a classic early chapter book by Arnold Lobel, commonly used in first and second grade classrooms.

Kids love having their own little notebooks. Teachers love having kids think deeply about text. And who doesn’t love Frog and Toad?

Combine all of this good stuff with my “Frog and Toad Are Friends {A Book Study}" resource. It's easy to prepare and can be used in several ways: as an independent book study, as a focused partner reading assignment, as the framework for a small group student book club, or even with a guided reading group!

Check out the PREVIEW for a closer look!

The Reader’s Notebook printables include BEFORE-reading, DURING-reading, and AFTER-reading activity pages (21 in all, plus 5 book-club inserts), specifically designed for each chapter of the story, and aligned to Common Core Standards.

Pages include:

• Notebook Cover Page (color and b/w options)
• Activity Checklist
• Accessing Prior Knowledge
• Vocabulary Study
• Structured Note-taking
• Text in Focus (Close Reading) questions on specific excerpts
• Taking Text Further (Extending Meaning)
• After-Book Activity Page
• Book Club Discussion Agendas for each chapter

Formats include:

• Half-Page layout with regular line-spacing
• Half-Page layout with wide line-spacing
• Full-Page layout with wide line-spacing

(Note: In the half-page layout, two copies of each page will print on each sheet of paper. With each set you print/copy, you'll chop the sheets in half and staple along the top edge, creating two fun little notebooks! If you need only one notebook, I've also included a single-student version to help you save paper.)
