Use Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller to strengthen your students' comprehension skills, build their vocabulary, and help them understand how words work.
This is a charming story of kindness, friendship, and discovering what it means to make and keep a resolution. As Squirrel travels through the forest helping her friends, students will find many opportunities to practice Making Predictions, Identifying the Author's Purpose, and Understanding Text Structure. Each strategy is supported by clear examples in both the text and illustrations, helping readers build confidence and comprehension as they follow Squirrel's journey.
This resource set also includes a focused word work lesson on the suffix -y, helping students understand how adding -y to a base word changes its meaning into a describing word (like cloudy, messy, or noisy).
