This is a comprehensive 70+ page bundle of resources based not he beautiful Australian children’s book, “The Grand, Genius Summer of Henry Hoobler” by Lisa Shanahan.
This book tells the tale of Henry, who is headed off (with his family) for a summer of camping by the beach. Henry is afraid of lots of things, spiders, tsunamis and stingrays to name a few, but mostly he is afraid of riding his big, new bike. Henry meets Cassie, who shows him that you can do anything, if you are lucky enough to find a true friend.
This is a wonderful book for teaching resilience and kindness.
The resource includes:

  • A detailed, chapter-by-chapter student workbook. This includes two pages of comprehension questions, as well as a creative response for every chapter of the book (twenty chapters in total). Comprehension questions target a range of skills, from literal to inferential, as well as text-to-world and text-to self connections.
  • Creative responses for every chapter, involving a high degree of student choice for engagement.
  • A complete answer guide, perfect for assessment and feedback.
  • A set of ten full-colour literature circle task cards, which can be printed and laminated or projected onto a screen. Tasks are designed to be completely independent with a minimal degree of teacher preparation (simply printing worksheets).
  • All associated printables, which can also be adapted and used for other texts.
    This resource can be used as part of a whole-class study of the book, or integrated into reading group time.
    I used this book in a Stage 2 classroom, but it would also be suitable for Stage 3, or a high-achieving Year two cohort.
    I have many other literacy-based resources in my store (most based on Australian content) so be sure to check them out.
