The cover for Miss Rumphius Lesson Plans and Teaching Resources

Use Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney to strengthen your students' comprehension skills, build their vocabulary, and help them understand how words work.

Alice Rumphius's journey from a dreamy little girl to the beloved Lupine Lady offers young readers a powerful story about following your dreams and finding your own way to make the world better. Students will practice asking questions about Alice's adventures, identifying why Barbara Cooney chose to tell this inspiring story, and understanding how the author structured Alice's life journey from childhood dreams to adult accomplishments. Word work focuses on exploring compound words like "grandfather" and "faraway" with 10 vocabulary words and engaging assessments that help students connect Alice's story to their own dreams and goals.
