  • Loved the variety of questions. It worked great for my students to follow along with the read aloud and answer the questions.

  • I love that i don't have to think up the comprehension questions for each chapter! I have started it with my mixed age ELL group and so far so good. It's great to have several choices of activities for each chapter rather than doing the same thing every day. Great, thoughtful resource.

  • I taught a book/movie club as part of our community ed program about Babe to 2-5 graders. There was quite a mix of students, but they all loved the book. This packet has a nice variety of questions and activities. I used this as well as some of my own creativity. Thanks for this! It gave me some great ideas and gave the kids some food for thought!
