Read a Book-Make a Book will help you encourage your students to use the books they read as seeds to sprout new ideas and more books! Teachers and students read a referenced literature title and then create a class or individual book in response. Each book-making project includes "After You Read" — ideas for discussing each book. These suggestions serve as a prewriting lesson to the "Now Write!" activity. Each project has an original poem written to accompany it. A few of the 38 literature titles featured include: picture books such as "Stellaluna" and "Have You Seen My Duckling?" chapter books such as "How to Eat Fried Worms" and "The BFG" classics such as "Mr. Popper's Penguins" and "Make Way for Ducklings" The types of books you can make include: double-hinged books layered books pull-tab books pop-up books pull-down books flap books and more Every project includes: step-by-step instructions reproducible patterns materials list included
