Bill and Pete Book Companion Read Aloud
This supplemental resource for the picture book Bill and Pete by Tomie dePaola includes 31 print-and-go activities to help teachers customize learning according to students' needs.
The activities encourage thinking beyond the text to foster higher-order thinking skills. Students will investigate characters, identify story elements, plot events, compare and contrast, make predictions, inferences and connections, and more. Questions require textual evidence to support reasoning and prompt personal insights.
Implementation ideas include: targeted instruction focusing on different reading skills each day; independent centers where students revisit the text using a new activity; guided reading groups to address struggles; literature circles for deeper discussion.
Activities are organized into sections:
Before Reading: Making predictions
