Book Punch Activities

Book Punch supplements well-known core literature readings. It provides three types of online exercises for each book.

In the Text-to-Self section, based on themes from the book, students write about their own experiences.

SAMPLE TOPIC from Sarah, Plain and Tall:
In the story, Caleb, Anna and Papa write letters to Sarah. Their letters ask Sarah questions about what she can do, what she likes, and what her life in Maine is like. Sarah writes back with her answers. Think about someone you would like to write to in order to discover more about him or her. Write a paragraph explaining who you would write to and what you would like to know about that person.

In the Evidence and Inference section of the program, students connect details to ideas in the book to infer deeper meaning from their reading.

SAMPLE TOPIC from Sarah, Plain and Tall:
When a tragic event has occurred, people need comfort and reassurance. In the story, Caleb asks Anna to retell the story of the day he was born. Write a paragraph that tells what Anna said to Caleb about the day he was born.

In the Reading Check section, students write about important facts and/or events from the book; an assessment determines if they have read it.

SAMPLE TOPIC from Sarah, Plain and Tall:
Animals are important in the story, which takes place on a farm. Write a paragraph about the animals in the story. Remember to be specific and include examples from the text in your paragraph.

Printable vocabulary activities, graphic organizers and writing rubrics are included for each book.

The teacher management system is intuitive to use and allows teachers to easily check student progress, comment on student work, add new students, and assign additional Merit programs.

Each Book Punch book program comes with easy-to-use implemention suggestions
