Bear Wants More Guided Reading and Writing Unit

In Bear Wants More, Bear’s just woken up from hibernation, and he’s starving. The setting is early Spring, and themes include sharing, greed, and friendship. The vocabulary is a little more controlled, so this book would work well for beginning 2nd grade level. This unit works well for skill modeling, in guided reading groups, and in partners.

PDF & Boom Cards – 38 pages
