Cover Story

In this reading extension activity, students redesign a book cover to demonstrate their understanding of story elements. After discussing why books have covers, students use the cover of a book to predict the story. Then they compare the story with their predictions and make their own drawings. This activity is aligned to Common Core State Standards for reading literature and speaking and listening.

We Give Books

Visit We Give Books, a free online library of children's picture books. For every book read on the site, a brand-new book will be donated to a children's literacy campaign of your choosing. Read aloud to students or encourage them read independently, and you'll teach them to help others at the same time. Giving is as simple as reading!
