Nerdy Birdy by Aaron Reynolds is the BEST book for back to school and community building. This COMPREHENSIVE unit comes in both pdf and Google Slides TM. It offers engaging skill based activities for deeper understanding and theme extension.

HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THE NERDY BIRDY UNIT:

Students will learn from the book themes of inclusivity and acceptance of differences
as the teacher works on key reading skills. The bundle has both digital and pdf so that the teacher can project the activities and model skills before assigning the printed version. It is excellent choice as a mentor text for comprehension strategies (author’s craft, character development, and making comparisons) and for writing (ideas-building an inclusive classroom). I have used it for book clubs, paired reading, and for guided reading too.
