Second Grade Reading Comprehension - Don't Let the Pigeon Stay up Late

Mo Willems is the author of the Pigeon book series. The books contain large amounts of vocabulary designed for k-2nd graders. However, the pictures are so simple and adorable, they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I adore this series so much that i have collected all of them despite that my son is almost 20 years old. As a result, I created the first of what I hope to be a series of reading comprehension and guided reading activity packs to make learning more fun for early elementary students as well as special education students and those with special needs in the areas of speech and communication.

The book, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay up Late," is required reading in order for students to complete all of the activities.

It is available for purchase at Amazon and at Mo Willems own website. You can also find it at your local library to check out.

Students will practice reading and learn about grammar, spelling, and increase vocabulary.

Activities include:

• Open-ended questions, writing prompts, based on the text in the book.

• Sight word recognition activities

• 32 Spelling Words

• 32 Vocabulary Words

• Alphabetization

• Fill-in-the-Blank

• Drawing

• And More

Students will be given the opportunity to search for:

• 14 CVC words found in the book

• 14 nouns found in the book

• 18 sight words found in the book

Great for:

• Reading Centers

• Literature Centers

• Guided Reading

• Read aloud activities

• Practicing Social and Emotional Skills

Pigeon books are written so that the reader is directly being spoken to by the Pigeon.
