Read a Book-Make a Book will help you encourage your students to use the books they read as seeds to sprout new ideas and more books! Teachers and students read a referenced literature title and then create a class or individual book in response.
Each book-making project includes "After You Read" -- ideas for discussing each book. These suggestions serve as a prewriting lesson to the "Now Write!" activity. Each project has an original poem written to accompany it.
A few of the 38 literature titles featured include:
- picture books such as “Stellaluna” and “Have You Seen My Duckling?”
- chapter books such as “How to Eat Fried Worms” and “The BFG”
- classics such as “Mr. Popper's Penguins” and “Make Way for Ducklings”
The types of books you can make include:
- double-hinged books
- layered books
- pull-tab books
- pop-up books
- pull-down books
- flap books
- and more
Every project includes:
- step-by-step instructions
