The Adventures of Marco and Polo

If you are looking for a way to get your children excited about reading, try this book extension for January, or any month. We like it in January when we are talking about the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions and making snowmen and having fun being cool. Ha! This book is about two animals from polar opposite parts of the world who meet up and compare how OPPOSITE they really are. There are anchor charts for the genre fiction and purpose. There are also many engaging activities for reading such as comprehension involving rereading to match opposite words, labeling, letter writing activities, coloring pages to practice our artistic ability and work on fine motor skills. There is also a fun animal sort.
