Build Reading Skills and a Love of Books with a Book Hunt

With an already overcrowded curriculum, it can be challenging to find the time to engage with events such as Read Across America in a purposeful and meaningful way. Add to this a classroom full of highly excitable students, and this task becomes almost impossible! 

Never fear, the Teach Starter book hunt is here! We’ve found a way to capitalize on that electric Read Across America energy by creating a fabulous mini-book that will guide your students through a theme-inspired book hunt full of literature-related challenges!

In this mini-book, students will be asked to find books that include things like:

  • a strong female character
  • illustrations
  • a non-fiction text

Each page includes room for a student’s illustration and written response related to the topic.

How to Create This Mini-Book for Read Across America

This resource contains four pages. Each page includes two mini-book pages (eight pages in total). To assemble the mini-book, follow these simple steps.

  1. Print out the resource. Create copies as required.
  2. Cut each page along the dotted line.
  3. Compile the pages in order.
  4. Staple the pages along the left-side margin to create a booklet. 
  5. Distribute to the students.
