MEGA Bundle 2023 CBCA Shortlist Books - Picture Book of the Year - Complete Teacher Guides

This is a HUGE 120+ page mega-bundle of novel studies based on all six books included on the 2023 CBCA shortlist for Picture Book of the Year.

It contains individual novel studies for the following six books:

• Paradise Sands by Levi Pinfold (my personal pick for the win!)

• Dirt by Sea by Michael Wagner

• My Strange Shrinking Parents by Zeno Sworder

• Our Dreaming by Kirli Saunders

• Frank’s Red Hat by Sean E Avery

• Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall

Each novel study includes:

• A detailed comprehension guide, targeting both inferential and literal comprehension skills, plus specific comprehension skills like author purpose, predicting, summarising, cause and effect, sequencing, characterisation, figurative language and more.

• An answer guide for every text.

• Integrated writing activities - informative, persuasive and imaginative based on the books.

• Creative Responses (at least 9 for every book), based on the events of the text. These are designed to completely independent with NO PREP required. Work is either completed on a device, paper or in student workbooks.

• A full-colour set of 10 literature circle activities based on each book. These can be printed and laminated or simply placed on the class screen for students to select from. Literature Circle activities include a range of integrated skills, such as Creative and Practical Arts, history, research skills and more.

• All associated printables.

The books in this bundle range in age suitability from Early Stage One to Stage 4. Age suitability guides are given for each book.

This bundle of work is literally WEEKS of reading work for students. The programs are designed to be open-ended, so you can use them for a whole-class text, or small group work. Comprehension questions can be both verbal or printed for a written response from students.

I have many other literature- based resources in my store (many of them based on Australian literature) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
