Personal Vocabulary Word Bookmark
I’ve also included a word study lesson plan and set of activities, because, much like vocabulary, I find that word study works best within context. As a result, I have identified word patterns within trade books and have developed lesson plans and resources based on the word study that can be done with specific books. The lesson plan and set of resources for The Hallo-Wiener focuses on synonyms and includes the following:
Lesson Plan
Interactive Activity
Practice Page
Independent Word Work
This set of resources also includes the following:
Running Record Assessment
Common Core Aligned Comprehension Assessment
Answer Keys
Common Core State Standard Alignment
Spanish translation of the comprehension strategy practice pages, reader’s notebook prompts (complete with Spanish Common Core “I Can” statements), and extension activities for use with The Hallo-Wiener
BONUS: Surprise Sample Resource
I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of The Hallo-Wiener by Dav Palkey.
If you have any questions about the resources included in this set please email me at AmyMackenzie@BookPagez.com. It will be my pleasure to reply and help you in any way I can.
