Sydney Hoff’s book, Chester is a perfect choice for introducing young readers to fiction. With engaging characters and an inviting plot, this story is sure to captivate kids in first to second grade.
This easily accessible “print and go” unit comes with activities that can be used as a mentor text lesson, or in guided reading groups or literature circles. This literature resource includes before, during and after activities aligned with Common Core and VA SOLS standards
I love that Syd Hoff’s books include many sightwords and words with vowel patterns that my students have learned. His books allow for many teaching options and are true classics. This book is great for use any time of year.
The pages can be printed and put under a document camera for group discussion or projected using TPT Easel. Students can work in teams to brainstorm ideas when working in whole group or work on specific skills with the teacher in guided reading groups. Teachers can also use this resource for book clubs for more independent readers.
