Printables for use with Children's Books

• Preschool and up: Read a number of bear themed children's books to the children over the course of a few days. Give each child a "bear graph" page. Have the children write the titles of 2 to 4 books on their page.  Then have them wander around the classroom and ask their classmates which of their titles was the classmate's favorite. Have them mark the favorite on the graph paper box to track the most popular title.
  • Bear Graph Page
• Kindergarten and up: Have the children read one of the bear books (either fiction or non-fiction). Give each child 2 or 3 lined "bear pages" to write a short book report.
  • Bear: title page and lined paper
  • Bear: title page and picture paper
     
• Kindergarten and up: After reading a number of fiction and non-fiction works, have the children write what it might be like to have a bear living in their house -- food needs, temperature, playtime, etc would all be topics they could address.  Alternatively, you could have them write what they like about bears.

• Grade 1 and up:  Use some of the non-fiction bear books (or KidZone's Bear Facts) to do research about bears. Give each child 2 or 3 lined "bear pages" to write down some of the information they've learned.
