HOW TO CATCH A TURKEY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

In How to catch a Turkey, the students were planning a Thanksgiving play at school, and thought it would be a great idea to have a real turkey in the show. But there was a slight problem...Turkey has stage fright!

Turkey runs around the school, trying to escape in various rooms and making a mess wherever it went. Can the students catch the turkey in time for the play, or will the show go on without it? Read the book to find out the surprising ending :)

This book companion is packed with activities that will enrich your guided reading curriculum, as students develop their literacy experience and reading comprehension skills while doing activities that are fun and engaging.

Students will work on literacy skills like story elements, character traits, making predictions, problem & solution, making text to self connections, main idea, cause & effect, comprehension questions, a craft, and MORE!

This How to Catch a Turkey book study can be used as a whole class activity, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!

The book companion unit will save you tons of time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!
