Description
Trouble with Trolls is a Jan Brett Christmas classic. These engaging comprehension focused activities make your planning EASY and learning FUN! You can use them with the book as an interactive read aloud, for mentor text lessons, for book clubs or partner reading.
HOW IS THE TROUBLE WITH TROLLS UNIT ORGANIZED?
You can use the lessons with your guided reading groups in a before, during, and after process. I have included both PDF and Digital formats using Google Slides TM so if you need to teach virtually, it’s not a problem. My hope is to give you LOTS of teaching options. Plus, the color version is more appealing for modeling.
