Henry & Mudge

and the

Wild Wind

by Cynthia Rylant

Follow this same routine for most books. This book has 3 chapters. I recommend reading one chapter each day, you'll also receive a page of dog bones—one bone for each chapter in the book. ( For this book introduce suffixes.

‍ ‍Day 1

• Cut out 4 dog bones for each person, write a small number in the top corner of each bone. For example: 1…..2…..3…..

• Do the Preview in the booklet

• Read Chapter 1 ( you can shadow read or take turns reading you read the left page and your child can read the right page. Help with the words you know they don’t know but encourage them to read the words they do know.

• Answer the question for the preview page and chapter 1 in your booklet.

• Write one sentence about this chapter on bone #1 (For many children—especially reluctant writers—writing on a fun shape feels much less intimidating than writing on a lined page.

• Save each completed dog bone until you've finished the entire book.

  Day 2

• Read Chapter 2

• Complete the comprehension questions

• Write one sentence about this chapter on bone #2

  Day 3

• Read chapter 3

• Complete the comprehension questions

• Write 1 sentence on bone #3

  Day 4

• After finishing the book, open to the next clean two-page spread in your Reading Response Journal.

• At the top of the right-hand page, write the title of the book.

  For example:

  Henry and Mudge: and the Wild Wind is a __________________ book.

• (Let your child choose the describing word. (fun, exciting, scary, happy, good, cool)

• Teacher Tip: This is also a great opportunity to remind children that book titles capitalize the important words.

• Glue the dog bones underneath your writing in chapter order.

• Follow the direction on the Rainbow Activity.

• Glue the rainbow on the left page of your Reading Response Journal.

• Chose a favorite saying to write at the bottom of your rainbow.

• 🌈 Every storm is followed by a rainbow.

• 🌦️ Storms don't last forever. Better days are ahead!

• 💛 Even after scary times, something beautiful can appear.

• 🌈 Keep looking up—you never know when a rainbow will appear.

• ❤️ Good friends help us through life's storms.

• 🐶 When we're together, even stormy days aren't so scary.

• 🌤️ After every storm comes sunshine... and sometimes a rainbow!
