This is a 35-page ready-to-use packet created by Jean Martin and designed to guide students who are reading Laurence Yep's book, Cockroach Cooties. Included is a 23-page student booklet, an answer key, and a vocabulary bookmark. The student booklet is designed to reinforce essential reading and writing skills for students in grades 3-5. Skills addressed include expanding vocabulary, demonstrating comprehension, visualizing, sequence-of-events, understanding figurative language & similes, understanding homonyms, constructed response writing, recognizing author's purpose, and summarizing.
The student booklet divides the text into five reading assignments (each reading assignment is approximately 25 pages) with questions and tasks to go with each one. The booklet is designed for independent work so that students may be working on this in class while the teacher is meeting with other students. The three culminating activities included at the end are optional and may be used for differentiation or as whole class activities at the teacher's discretion.

It exposes the ups and downs of sibling relationships and sheds light on why some kids act like bullies while encouraging understanding of the whole child. A good book for boys as well as girls.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My 20-plus years of teaching included 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades in Colorado, California, New Jersey, and Illinois. I've recently retired and now find myself as busy as ever! While I taught I loved creating meaningful and stimulating worksheets for my students, especially literature packets...but finding the time for it was always a challenge. Now I can spend a significant amount of time creating and publishing to help other teachers who are too busy teaching to have time to create as well!
