I love Harry just as much now as I did when it was read to me as a child. When I discovered that Betty read this on Storylineonline a few years ago, I was even more excited! Perfection for sure!
You can get my Harry the Dirty Dog Book It for FREE in my store! If you aren't familiar with my Book-Its, there are three activities.
Book It: Retell It, Write It! Make It!
1. Retelling the Story:
2. Make-a-Word
The kids start off very slow with the words they can make. Model, model, model! There is so much you can do with Make-a-Words and I feel like they are an untapped resource for so many teachers. I use their word study lessons as a guide and then sneak in all sorts of other min-lessons.
Since there is an "S" in this one, I introduced plurals and kids were excited to almost double their words. By the end of the year, many kids can get 50-100 words (TRUTH!) on a good Make-a-Word phrase.
3. Writing Prompts (Pick-a-Prompt)
Book Its are also awesome to leave for a substitute! Yep! Why? Because it's at least an HOUR of meaningful work. Watch/read book, Retelling, Make-A-Word, and then the prompt and sharing. More than 60 minutes for me and I usually don't do everything in one day. (Retelling is an example: They practice retelling a few days independently and then with partner.)
Last year, for the first time in forever, a NEW Harry the Dirty Dog book was released:
