Description

These high interest and engaging reading, writing, and word work activities align with the read-aloud of Thunder Cake written by: Patricia Polacco. This interactive read-aloud pack includes teaching guides and activities and has everything you need to make the most of one high-quality picture book.

Focus skills for this book include:

Reading: Finding the Theme

Writing: Writing Personal Narratives

Word Work: Pronoun and Verb Agreement

Literature Connections: Summarizing, Comprehension Questions, NF Thunderstorms, Character Reflections, and more!

Please be sure to read the book prior to purchasing this resource to make sure that it meets your individual class needs! Thank you!

This set includes BOTH print and digital activities.

KINDLY NOTE: This set does NOT include the picture book, excerpts from the book, photos of the pages, links to the book, or a typed text of the book. These are companion activities to go alongside your own copy of the book.

Ever feel like you do not have enough time to fit it all in?

Make the most of the time that you have with your students by using picture books, again and again, each time reading them with a new lens.

This series was designed with busy upper elementary teachers, like you in mind! Like you, I love to share picture books with my students. I know how much time it takes to create content-rich activities that promote critical thinking and align with standards for the books that we read with our students. That is why I created these reading packs.

I have taken my love of read alouds and coupled it with interactive read-aloud guides and rich meaningful activities to help you make the most of the time you have with your students.

While there is plenty of material to pick from, this resource was designed for you to pick and choose which activities are right for your classroom. Use them all or select which to use.

With four focuses (reading, writing, word work, and literature connection activities) you can pick and choose when you will use each set of activities. Use all of them at once for a complete book study or come back to different activities as they come up in your own curriculum’s scope and sequence.
