Here’s what teachers just like you are saying about this resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Helen C. says, “These ideas are great!! Very creative and using them brought out a creative side in my students. It also let me see the depth of their knowledge about the books they are reading individually and the books we are reading together!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Katherine S. says, “This resource was amazing. I have used it with many different texts (short stories, picture books, chapter books, etc). The kids love taking what they've read and incorporating it into a text conversation, an email, a movie poster, etc! Very fun way to engage with what they're reading! ”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Deanna K. says, “These are adorable! I loved the variety and the various reading concepts that are covered. My students love recreating the book cover as well as the water bottle activity. These are perfect for a novel study packet. Thanks! ”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Malisa H. says, “I'm using these in place of AR so that kids can still show me they have read a book without just taking a test. This is great for getting kids interested in other books too because they see the projects of others. Yay!!”
