I don’t know about you, but I love reading Kevin Henkes books to my students. The kids really seem to connect to the characters and their thinking really grows with the books. These books can be used for all kinds of reading skills and strategies: making connections, character analysis, comparing and contrasting, adjectives, descriptive writing, and (one of my faves) author’s message.

Reading Response Sheets for Kindergarten, First Grade, & Second Grade (Freebie)
Retelling Bookmarks (Freebie)
I recently created a Retelling/Reading Strategy bookmark.
Feel free to download! I printed mine on pretty cardstock and laminated them so that *hopefully* they will last… we’ll see about that! :)
When you print double sided it *should* line up. I uploaded it as a pdf so hopefully the formatting won’t come out funky!
