WHY BOOK COMPANIONS?

Book companions are a fun and engaging way to get students interacting with a read aloud picture book! When I was teaching I had a lot of difficulty finding leveled book companions that would meet the needs of students in my self-contained classroom, so I made my own.

STORYMAP

The Story map is used to find key elements of the story. I love doing this in the whole group setting on the board as a group. The visuals make this a differentiated activity!

After completing the story map as a whole group, you can break off into small groups.

SEQUENCING

Sequencing is also a great activity to do whole group and then split off to complete individually for review and to check for understanding.
