HORRIBLE HARRY AND THE ANT INVASION BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Horrible Harry is in second grade, and there is a lot going on in his classroom!

I love how my students identified Harry's best friend, Doug as the narrator of the book. They weren't a fan of Harry's nemesis, Sidney :) My class soon learned if Horrible Harry lived up to his name. It was fun to see various opinions of whether they felt Harry's horrible actions were justified or not.

This book study unit is packed with fun activities that will help your First Grade and Second Grade students with story elements, making predictions, character traits, making text to self connections, author's purpose, main idea, making inferences, vocabulary, writing, giving opinions and advice, problem and solution, story retell, reading comprehension, and much more!
