Guided Reading, Small/Whole Group, Resources for Pumpkin Books

Item description

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Children love reading pumpkin books in the Fall. This product includes simple graphic organizers and over-sized bookmarks that can be used during guided reader groups or easily as a whole class reading lesson.

Children love big bookmarks! I also send the bookmarks home with the assigned guided reader which allows the parent to reinforce the skill we will be working on in our small groups.

If distance learning, read the story to your class and the children can complete the graphic organizer online either together with teacher or on their own.

Graphic Organizers and bookmarks can be easily edited to be used with other books, I can send you the file to do so. I use Publisher and/or PowerPoint.
