Summary
Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin
Who knew earthworms and humans had so much in common? In the charming Diary of a Worm, students will meet a young worm who, like most boys and girls, loathes his homework, loves hanging out with his best friend and can’t help but pick on his sister. This is a fun story to support lessons on making connections, asking questions, and making inferences, all while introducing students to unique text structures.
Watch an online read aloud of Diary of a Worm here or listen to an audiobook here on Epic.
