I love the story Tomas and the Library Lady! It sends a wonderful message to kids about reading with their imagination! The story is great for introducing visualizing. The little boy Tomas has learned all of Papa Grande's stories so he goes to library to learn more. He becomes the new family storyteller and makes stories come to life for his family. I have a few Spanish speaking students this year and they loved getting to hear the Spanish words during the story. My other students felt like they were getting some lessons in speaking Spanish. The kids just loved this book!
I made graphic organizers for the story for the kiddos to use when identifying the central message, summary, and character traits.
I also made comprehension and vocabulary task cards to go along with the story. I love task cards!!
You can get all of the activities here at my TpT store!
Happy reading! :)
