Use Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows to turn your read aloud or small group work into a time to improve comprehension and talk about the text in purposeful ways.

At first glance, Ivy and Bean couldn't have been more different. Ivy wore dresses and sparkly headbands. Bean's headbands always fell off, and she only wore dresses when her mother made her. Bean liked to play with lots of kids, but Ivy played alone. Ivy read books but reading made Bean jumpy. Can two very different girls be friends? Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows is an ideal text to introduce the concept of theme to young readers. Through exploring story elements like setting and plot in this beginning chapter book, readers will develop an understanding of how theme is developed across longer texts.
