Welcome to Mrs. Bee's Learning Studio
You have just entered the Reading Book Club…
where stories come to life through engaging comprehension activities, hands-on crafts, and meaningful reading experiences designed to help young readers grow in confidence.
One of my favorite memories from my 24 years as an elementary classroom teacher was watching children become excited about reading chapter books.
The secret wasn't giving them harder books—it was giving them the confidence to understand what they were reading.
That's why I created Mrs. Bee's Reading Book Club—to help you and your child experience the same excitement I witnessed in my classroom. Each book study includes chapter-by-chapter comprehension booklets and a fun hands-on activity that brings the story to life.
Each book study follows the same simple routine. As you and your child complete each story and the accompanying activities, your child will build reading confidence, strengthen comprehension skills, and create a Reading Response Journal they'll be proud to look back on.
It's routine, routine, routine—that's where the magic happens. Sometimes the simplest routines produce the greatest growth.
Feel free to put your own cute picture on the front. You could actually put a picture of your child on the front if you like.
To get started, you'll need just a few simple supplies.
Supplies:
A composition notebook with primary (pre-primer) paper (available at Walmart for about $3.00 or amazon) I recommend one for you and one for your child.
A copy of the featured book.
The downloadable comprehension booklet.
The downloadable activity pages for that book.
A downloadable page of dog bones or other writing prompt when needed
Scissors, glue, and a pencil, ( and sometimes colored markers and or crayons)
The comprehension booklet is printed as a double copy. One copy is for you to model with your child, and one copy is for your child to complete. Learning together helps children become confident readers.
The Bookshelf Library of Books are located below, I do however I suggest you start with Henry & Mudge the First Book. It is a bit higher reading level but is a great place to start because you meet Mudge as a puppy. Use it as a read aloud and an opportunity to learn my routine.

Welcome to Mrs. Bee’s Book Club Library..
This is where you will find buttons that will lead you to Book Units you might like to read with your child. Don’t worry that they are not independently reading just yet, that will come with practice. I will add reading levels to help you choose books that may be less challenging. Henry and Mudge the First Book, is a fun one to start with so I have linked it above, along with a suggested format to follow for each book unit.
If you feel that your child is not quite ready for these books yet check out some of the books that will soon be in the kindergarten bookshelf.
Henry & Mudge the First Book is a good one to start with, even though it is a higher reading level it sets the ground work. Scroll up above for more details.
