This is a collection of 10 worksheets for the Magic Tree House book, Dinosaurs Before Dark, by Mary Pope Osborne. Each sheet corresponds to a chapter in the book and features chapter-specific wordlists and drawing activities with a critical thinking, imagination or comprehension component. This collection would be perfect for a book club or guided reading setting, as a center, early-finishers sheet or homework.
Though rated for kindergarten, I think these would be too difficult for most kindergarten children. I will try using them in a whole group discussion. Thank you.
Thank for the feedback and I'm really sorry that you didn't find these useful. Personally I made these sheets for a middle reading group in first grade, but I have since used them with struggling readers as old as fifth. Whole group sounds like it could be successful and fun for kindergarten but I understand your disappointment and wish I could give you a refund. I will be removing the Kinder recommendation from this and others like it.
