Remember Trolls?

Does anyone remember these little guys and gals?

trolls

I remember when I had dozens of these as a child. 

A few weeks back one of my FAVORITE clipart artists posted a back of trolls.  Let me tell ya… it took me back to being a kid!

I bought the pack immediately, not quite knowing how I was going to use it. 

Within a few days, I decided to create a pack that practices reading skills and strategies that my kiddos could benefit from. 

I am so excited to start this with my kids!

Slide1

This pack has activities that focus on:

Sequencing

Compare & Contrast

Fact & Opinion

Making Predictions

Making Connections

Visualizing

When appropriate answer guides are provided and differentiated activities. 

Let me give you a peek at each activity!
