Book Companions ENDLESS Bundle | Great for ESL & Primary Students

As a teacher of English as a Second Language I found that classic stories are a enganging for my ESL/EFL and Primary students. You will find lot of activities for primary and elementary learners such as graphic organizers, comprehension retell questions, vocabulary, character study, story elements, and SO much more!  Students will apply critically thinking skills while engaged in these activities.

Printables can be used in small/whole group, within guiding reading groups to support individualized and/or differentiated instruction.  They can also be used for progress monitoring, benchmark assessments, and so much more!

• Identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.

Why using book companions in the ESL classroom?

1. Vocabulary Building: Book companions can help students build their vocabulary by introducing them to new words and phrases. Teachers can use the books to teach vocabulary related to the story, such as adjectives to describe characters or nouns to describe objects in the story.
2. Comprehension Skills: Book companions can help students develop their comprehension skills by providing context for the story. Teachers can ask questions about the story to ensure students understand the plot and characters, and to encourage critical thinking.
3. Reading and Writing Practice: Book companions can help students improve their reading and writing skills. Students can practice reading the story and answering comprehension questions, and can also practice writing their own stories or journal entries based on the book.
