Chrysanthemum (Book Talk Freebie!)

Happy Book Talk Tuesday!

I'm linking up with the Mrs. Jump's Class for one of my all-time favorite linky parties. Thank you Deanna for hosting :)


For this Book Talk post, I wanted to share a little problem we encountered recently:

Background Information

I'm pulling a small group using Leveled Literacy Instruction. This is a group of firsties reading at Level B (below grade level). 
We'll be meeting for approximately 30 minutes 
Guided Reading-style every morning. 

Problem

 I also provide special education services to two precious little boys during this same literacy block. They are supported with one-on-one assistants (for behavior and academics). This terrific duo read at level D+, yet have specific needs in the area of comprehension. My Guided Reading intervention group would not be meeting their needs appropriately. 

Solution

Enter the most wonderful resource ever :)




Holy. Moly.

This is a SUPER-sized TPT Treasure



This bundle saved my close reading life!

My students, one-on-ones, and I kicked it off with the all-time fave Chrysthanemum. We listened to the story being read aloud on youtube and then we explored the book for our "Cold Read." Today we will get a bit warmer by reading the book again and exploring vocabulary.

If you love Kevin Henkes as much as my students and I do, please check out this post and pick up some freebies!

Have a terrific Tuesday!
