Home by Carson Ellis Low Prep Activities and Printables

Are you looking for a low prep set of activities for the book Home by Carson Ellis? This student activity book is the perfect guided reading book companion to go along with it. You can find differentiated writing and drawing prompts inspired by the beautiful illustrations in the story.

This 5 lesson bundle includes:

• Teacher's guide (Detailed lesson plans with activity and game ideas)
• Student Activity Book (I print double sided on A3 paper for the A4 size activity book. This works as a smaller book printed on A4 double sided as well.) I recommend stapling the center of the book so it stays together nicely.
• A4 printables for individual pages (EASY to mix and match)
• Colorful flashcards
• Writing Prompts
• Fun on theme puzzles in the back of the activity book for early finishers
