Challenging my Top Readers with the Magic Tree House Series {And a Giveaway!!}

I shared a while back how I use my Henry and Mudge reading trifolds to challenge my top readers.  Well, I've also started getting my top readers to read the Magic Tree House books, and I've created some Common Core Book studies to go with the first 8 books.  I'm working my way through the whole series and am bundling them in groups of 7.  My firsties are loving these packets!  They are really challenging them to think creatively and expand their thinking.  Each unit includes two comprehension foldables, reader response journal prompts, a comprehension check, creative writing prompts, and a vocabulary foldable.  I've also included several extension activities in each set to give students practice with a variety of reading and language skills including ABC order, fact/opinion, true/false, Suffix -ed rules, and more!  Check out the previews for each below.  Click on a preview to take you to the product on TPT:

Dinosaurs Before Dark:

The Knight at Dawn:

Mummies in the Morning:

Pirates Past Noon:

Night of the Ninjas:

Afternoon on the Amazon:

Or, you can buy the BUNDLE for books 1-7 {HERE} for $14.50 (a savings of $7.50 over the individual purchase prices).

  10. These look awesome. I have second graders who are reading chapter books on their own now and others who want to read them. Reading Magic Treehouse books to them would be a great way to end the school year.

  13. My daughter is currently devouring the irreverent (but hilarious) Horrid Henry series; she reads them over and over. She just discovered Magic Treehouse at the library and read the Paris adventure with Louis Pasteur, Thomas Edison and co. Brilliant! This set would be a great way to encourage and expand her interest. Thanks so much for the opportunity! thursdaytook@hotmail.com

  15. I love the Frances reading series, I have loved her since I was a little girl. I don't know what it is, but I remember sitting in the library with the stack of Frances books (Bread and Jam for Frances is my favorite) and read them over and over again!

    I do teach with the Magic Tree House books, my firsties always love them when we read them as a class. This would be awesome!
