Patricia Polacco author study! If you like teaching with Patricia Polacco books, this author study is for you!

"Thanks Shannon for sharing your unit study on Patricia Polacco with us. It is probably one of the best author studies I have ever purchased. The students learned so much and it really helped them grow as "meaning-makers" in their reading. If you write any more, please let me know!"
-Sharon Huff

I have seen quite a few author studies for Patricia Polacco books, but never one that had everything I know teachers really want.

Teachers want to take their students deeper into the meaning of stories. We are concerned not only about fluency, but also about the types of connections our kids are making with books.

Real world connections, visualizing the stories, being able to summarize the problem and solution...and making it personal to our lives. That's reading.

Here is my answer to teaching with Patricia Polacco books. You will find that this unit is very different from other elementary author studies you may have purchased:

Interactive Read Alouds

Reading With a Buddy and comprehension checking

Re-reading for fluency and understanding

Text-to-Text Connections

Text-to-Self Connections

Text-to-World Connections

Learning how to identify a genre and author's style

...and so much more! This is how you should be teaching with Patricia Polacco books.
