You’ve Got Reading in the BAG!

Imagine you begin school and you have a class full of eager readers who are ready for the excitement of learning new skills in literacy. They are ready for new books with incredible stories. You hope to nurture their love for reading throughout the year and then you give them a book to read during your guided reading group or literature circle and they become bored…

Unfortunately this could be any of us and I have created an engaging and interactive resource to fix boredom during your literacy block. These interactive paper bag novel studies are great for any student. They are hands on and fun! They bring the story to life and help your readers reflect on the literature they read throughout the year. 

Each novel study includes interactive foldable pieces to add to your paper bag book. The books are easy to assemble and fun to use in ANY classroom. The paper bag books include:

cover page

topic preview

predictions

character analysis

setting

chapter summaries

essential vocabulary

book review

The following are the current paper bag novel studies available for purchase in my TPT store. These stories are appropriate for 2nd and 3rd grades. Many could be used in a 1st grade or 4th grade classroom as well. I’m currently reading Fantastic Mr. Fox as a read aloud to my 2nd graders and completing a paper bag novel study as a read aloud activity.

If you want to have nurture creative readers and HAVE READING IN THE BAG this year, don’t hesitate to add these paper bag novel studies to your reading curriculum this year!
