Novel Study for my 2nd/3rd Graders!

Funded Jun 2, 2023

Thank you so much for our class set of Mr. Popper's Penguins! The main focus of this novel study was to teach reading comprehension. My students are learning to make text connections and to use text evidence when answering questions about the text. Before reading, we learned all about penguins and the time period during which the story takes place. We read one chapter each week, and kids never want to stop reading after each chapter! They are so delighted with this story! The last page in the book introduces a companion book and my kids are begging me to get it so we can read that too. Students are learning to love reading - and their comprehension skills are developing amazingly! Thank you again for your generosity!”

With gratitude,

Ms. O'Connor
