As some of you know, I used to be an English teacher (ESL). I also used to create materials on a regular basis, both for my own classes and for the language programs that employed me. So, it just follows naturally that I would wish to create some materials to go along with Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story.
These materials are RL3 (third grade). As my guide, I have used the requirements from two Iowa school systems for reading skills in their third grade classrooms.
I have Reading/Writing Activities, including prompts for writing reports on things related to the Katie & Kimble story. I've also created topics and prompts to go with my Childhood Stories that you will find on the right sidebar under the Katie & Kimble Activity Corner.
A Culminating Activity is included for classes that want to blog with the author.
I have also included seven Worksheets to go with Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story. These include: Rhyming Words, What's the Order?, What's the Story?, Contractions Review, Compound Words, Classifying Words, and Base Words.
You can download all the materials free of charge below and make copies for your own personal use or for classroom use. And don't forget the free downloadable coloring pages!
I welcome suggestions for additional materials. Please post your comments below if you'd like to see me develop additional materials for Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story.
Download the pdf of the Katie & Kimble Classroom Materials here. This is a huge file, so if your computer can't handle it, I've divided the file into three parts below.
