HENRY AND MUDGE AND A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Henry and Mudge and a Very Merry Christmas is a great book for first and second graders at Christmas. Leveled readers are wonderful guided reading tools, and of course everyone LOVES the big dog Mudge!

In this book, Henry and his family are preparing for Christmas. They do many activities together, and are excited to have their guests arrive.

This book is made up of short chapters, which gives students the ability to work on comprehension activities in bite-sized portions. And students feel very accomplished when they can say that they are reading 'chapter books'!

In this story, Annie brings her pet along to the Christmas gathering...Snowball the white bunny!

Henry's mother makes cut-out cookies for all of her guests, personalizing them by their shapes. Henry helps her with the baking, and Mudge keeps the floors clean with his tongue :)

Besides making cookies, Henry's family decorates, goes out caroling, and open presents.

They also eat a big breakfast feast. Henry's family drops a lot of food on the floor...are they messy eaters or are they spoiling Mudge???

They open their gifts. Can you guess what Henry loves most of all?

When their guests leave, Henry and his parents head out for a walk. They leave gifts for the wildlife on their walk in the snow.

This book study unit is packed with a wide variety of Common Core aligned literacy activities for First Grade and Second Grade.
