Dodger and Me by Jordan Sonnenblick is a nice chapter book to devote to read-alouds, and Yearn4Learning's class considers it a favorite. She has posted a chapter-by-chapter reading response packet to go along with the book.
A Bad Case Of Stripes by David Shannon, one of my favorite picture book writer/illustrators, is one I definitely have enjoyed reading to students. StepIntoSecondGrade turned the book into a coloring and writing activity for her students, and she's shared it on her site! Your class can color their own stripes on Camilla, the main character, and write about the cause and effect of events in the story.

The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister is one of the most popular books I see in school libraries. Kids love the cool illustrations, and I must admit that I love seeing the glittery images on the covers of the Rainbow Fish series. That's why it was so exciting to see LearningParade's eye-catching craft activity designed around this book. Students create a tissue paper lantern that closely resemble the colors associated with the popular book covers. Students can also work on a cut/paste activity and color their own rainbow fish in this printable sheet from the site.
As an added bonus, check out MrsRojas's story maps made with post-it notes! They are just the right size for a little story analysis for students. She's even included a printable sheet to include information about different story elements.
Happy reading!
