Corduroy | Don Freeman

pick

This book brings back so many memories! It‘s about a bear named Corduroy that is in a mall and he just wants an owner! He adventures through the mall when he realizes his button on his outfit is missing. It‘s an easy enough read that it should be good for IR. The link is for recognizing the characters in the book, it would work with younger grades. http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/ lesson_images/lesson30/characters.pdf #ucflae3414sp20

Before you read, you can complete this word search about the poem so they have an idea of the words they will see. https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/material/light-attic-word-search The EL I chose is #20 lost the important words you plan to

juliap99 use, hence the word search that you can do together. The UDL I chose to go with this lesson is 9.1 to promote expectations and beliefs the optimize motivation. By completing the word search before you increase interest in the poems ! #ucflae3414sp20 5y

HappyMaddy Silverstein! He really got my interested in poetry with humor. This is a great option for students to be introduced to poetry that is light-hearted & funny. I would consider reading a poem a day to my class! The word search is a very creative way to get kids i‘m excited about vocabulary. 5y

DrSpalding You can‘t do much better than Silverstein! Your universal design principle and English learner strategies work nicely. You do need to increase interest in poetry and teach poetic elements along with figurative language. 5y

The Ugly Duckling is a classic TL book that everyone has most likely heard of. It teaches students how your words and actions can effect others. This TL won a Caldecott Medal in 2000. This book would be great for RA because you can get the lesson across to your students. I have linked an activity that teaches about character & conflict in the book.

This NF book is so cute ! The illustrations are adorable and get readers intrigued. I have linked a website where you can find activities that go with this book.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:i%20am%20abraham%20lincoln

juliap99 multiple books on the subjects of Abe Lincoln and slavery. The UDL I chose is 3.1 to activate or supply background knowledge. When using this book this can occur because most of your students have heard of Abe Lincoln. #ucflae3414sp20 5y

Ryan_R I love the animation style of this! Also, you know it should be good if PBS is apart of it! 5y

ValeriaCastaneda23 What a cute way to incorporate history into a children book, I literally adore cute books like this. Great choice 5y

DrSpalding Well these are non-fiction… They are about historical figures so that means it is what genre? This is an excellent series! PBS has turned them into cartoons. Both would be helpful when teaching social studies content to elementary age students. 5y

#ucflae3414sp20
This fiction book is a relatable chapter book for your older students. The main character is struggling with your typical preteen struggles.

Hannacallaham This book is so great! I posted about it as well. The words in this book is great for young learners to use in their every day lives whether it be at school or at home. The pictures in the book are very detailed and great for comprehension as well as EL students to help follow along.
