Chrysanthemum Lesson Plans: Close Reading

This is one of our favorite books in our Engaging Readers Series. For this book, student practice:
  • making predictions
  • recalling text details/retell
  • character study/connections
  • comparing/contrast
  • opinion writing.

Chrysanthemum Lesson Plans: Compare and Contrast

One of the comprehension lessons that we include in this unit is comparing the characters in these two Kevin Henkes books:  Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and Chrysanthemum.

You can see these kindergarten students made their meaning known through their illustrations.  It is important to remember that the power of these units are in the discussions that take place during the interactive read aloud.  Students work with their reading partner as they dig deeper into the details and meaning of each text.

  1. Love Kevin Henkes! Thanks for the freebie! A question for you Deedee- When do you do explicit phonics instruction? I have your Guiding Readers Bundle and know that it is in that program. But as I am looking at your Peek at My Week plans I am wondering if you do the phonics during the Reading/Interactive writing block? Just trying to pack in all your wonderful programs into my schedule! I don’t want to leave any of it out!!
