My Teaching Ideas
Take Home Book Packs


This is the Take Home Book Pack. For each book pack, I highlighted unfamiliar words throughout the book. Using the words that were highlighted, I created a concentration game, a word find, and gave activity ideas for extending the story.

Some of these ideas are; whenever you turn a card in the concentration game you should say the words, choose a highlighted word and write as many rhyming words for it that you can think of, put two of the rhyming words together to make a "Hink/Pink", draw and color a picture about your "Hink/Pink", reread the story together with your child, ask your child to retell the story, and have your child draw a picture of what could happen next in the story.

I was very lucky when putting these together to come across a great pack in the dollar store. Inside each pack I have laminated an instruction page and concentration cards. I fill each pack with all the materials I think a student may need to make it interesting and fun.
