Horrible Harry and the Ant Invasion

Towards the end of last year my fellow teachers and I decided to try chapter books with our students. Since I teach the on-level group it wasn't a major challenge for the students with the right chapter book. This year, we decided to try it again with our new group of students. Our school library has a wide variety of class sets our teachers can choose from. For this week I decided to try "Horrible Harry and the Ant Invasion."

In my comprehension unit for this book study each chapter has Comprehension Questions the students can answer. I also created a table where students can create their own questions for each chapter, (that is a big standard we have been working on.) In addition, there is 3 activity pages for each chapter on Vocabulary. The students will get a chance to draw a picture for each word. I tried this with my own students last week and they loved it. It was a nice a change from just writing the definition. On the other hand, I feel like the students learning the definitions is important so I included a work page where they use a dictionary to find the definition. There is also a writing prompt for each chapter. We have been working on restating the question and writing details from the story so I chose a question students could expand on.

I hope you enjoy my new unit & be looking for others as I choose different chapter books from now until the end of the year! Just click the link below to find it in my TPT store! Enjoy your Sunday!
