Diverse Picture Books Activities in ELA & Math

Are you looking to use more Diverse Literature in your elementary classrooms this year? This resource is for you! This resource contains activities in Math, Reading, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. Includes STEM Challenges too.

Instructions in resource on how to use virtually and split PDF's. Adding the activities to a JAMBOARD, Google Slide, or Nearpod ADD ON on Google Slides will make this resource easy to use for digital assignments.

Activities such as using a number code to find the value of a word, determining the theme of the story, comparing and contrasting characters in the book, citing evidence to prove connections, and making timelines, plus finding the age of death of a person in a biography using computation skills.

Place value, fractions, measurement, geometry, and graphing ideas are shared in the resource.

Books can also be used to introduce many science concepts covered in the elementary grades. The science activities can be used to review science concepts taught in previous grades before the Science standardized test usually given in fifth grade.

Skill list included for fiction and nonfiction books on skills that can be taught and reviewed with the books. Templates included to complete the activities.

Great activities to start the year off with or to close learning gaps.
