Use Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall to strengthen your students' comprehension skills, build their vocabulary, and help them understand how words work.
Use this beautifully illustrated picture book to strengthen students' comprehension skills, deepen their understanding of author's choices, and explore how stories change over time. The story follows a lighthouse and its keeper as seasons pass, families grow, and technology transforms life at sea. Through simple text and rich visuals, students explore themes of responsibility, change, and continuity.
This resource set includes targeted comprehension lessons focused on Synthesizing, Author's Purpose, and Making Inferences, helping students think across the beginning, middle, and end of the story, notice why the author made certain choices, and read between the lines using both text and illustrations. The collection also features a word work lesson on three-syllable words drawn from nautical and story-based vocabulary, along with a creative extension activity inspired by the author's note on real lighthouse keepers.
