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 - Visualizing - Determining Importance - Asking Questions - 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 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 “One Candle” focuses on Contractions and includes the following: - Lesson Plan - Interactive Activity - Practice Page - Independent Word Work This set of resources also includes the following: - Running Record Assessment - Answer Keys - Common Core State Standard Alignment - BONUS: Surprise Sample Resource I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of “One Candle” by Eve Bunting. 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.

This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with Little Bear's Visit, Oliver Button Is a Sissy, Peter's Chair, and The Snowy Day. These resources can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these them a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop. Each lesson plan follows the format of a mini lesson and provides an opportunity for students to turn and talk about how they make connections while reading. Students will also have the opportunity to practice the strategy with a page by page guided “worksheet” and write about their reading with a common core aligned Reader’s notebook prompt. Here's What You'll Get and Why: My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about books through the lens of comprehension strategies. This book bundle will help you teach readers how to make connections while reading popular picture books for second grade readers. You’ll get the following set of resources for each book: - Making Connections Comprehension Strategy Lesson Plan - Page by Page Practice Worksheets - Answer Keys - Text Specific Reader’s Notebook Prompts - Making Connections Graphic Organizer - Complete Common Core Alignment You’ll also get a set of Making Connections Task Cards that can be used with early finishers or as an extension activity for all students. Last, I’ve included an Making Connections Poster for your classroom library. Hang the poster in your classroom to remind your students what good readers do. You could also make copies of the covers of each of the books used in this book bundle and hang them with the poster to remind students of the work they did while reading each of the books. I hope that you will enjoy using my resources along with your copy or copies of “Little Bear's Visit, Oliver Button Is a Sissy, Peter's Chair, and The Snowy Day.” If you have any questions about the resources included in this set please email me at Amy@BookPagez.com.
