The Picture Book Teacher's Edition: Beatrice Doesn't Want To by Laura Numeroff - Teaching Ideas One of my great blog followers took advantage of my "Book Suggestion" page and suggested this great little book. I did not have the book, so off to my local library I went. I am so glad Beth recommended this book, it is GREAT! It is about little Beatrice and her complete hatred of books, that is, until the end of the story when she has a special connection with a book that the librarian is reading. To go along with this book I have created a packet filled with different reading skills and strategy worksheets that would be great for introducing that specific skill or strategy or simply giving your students a fun book to practice those skills. I have a special offer for this packet...you must get to the bottom of this post to take advantage of it. Reading level: 1.2 Theme: Reading, siblings Genre: Animal Stories Reading skills and strategies: asking questions - {possible questions before} Beatrice doesn't want to do what? Preview of what is included in the packet. Happy reading!
