This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with “Love That Dog” by Sharon Creech. It can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these resources a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop. Here's What You'll Get and Why: My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about “Love That Dog” using a variety of comprehension strategies. That's why I've included page by page lesson plans, guided practice worksheets, and text-specific reader's notebook prompts for the following strategies: - Making Connections - Making Inferences - Visualizing - Understanding Text Structure - Synthesizing I also created an Extension Activity for early finishers. Next, I find that vocabulary instruction works best when it's done within the context of books that students are already reading. That's why I've included the following vocabulary resources: - Vocabulary Word List - Flash Cards (match words to pictures and match words to definitions) - Interactive Vocabulary Notebook Cards - Vocabulary Word Games Printable - Personal Vocabulary Word Bookmark This set of resources also includes the following: - Running Record 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 “Love That Dog” - BONUS: Surprise Sample Resource I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of “Love That Dog” by Sharon Creech.
