Kevin Henkes Author Study

 This packet is so exciting!! It uses some of my favorite literature by one of my favorite authors/illustrators. Kevin Henkes writes stories that really help young children explore comprehension standards and delve into character analysis. Lilly has a distinctive personality and her stories always have a problem with a solution. Chrysanthemum is easy to describe and faces a problem that helps relating text to self.  Wemberly always worries, Chester is reliable and Sheila is brave.
Take a look at the slides below to see all there is to enjoy and encourage students to think critically.
