The Mitten - Book Extension

Who doesn't love Jan Brett?  It is so easy to foster a love for reading when you immerse the kids in her books!  They are amazed by the illustrations.  THE MITTEN is an all time favorite with us!    The story is about a little boy, his grandmother, a mitten, and lots of forest animals that squeeze inside the mitten to stay warm.  It's a great time to introduce the students to the lost art of knitting!

We compiled our favorite activities into a book extension.  Included are also many engaging activities for reading such as comprehension involving rereading for details. There are activities for putting the story in the correct sequence, writing and labeling activities, a mitten shape book to make, and much more. Your students will be making connections and comparisons with their own experiences with mittens keeping warm in winter.
