Do you do book studies with your students?
The Candy Corn Contest by Patricia Reilly Giff is an enjoyable early chapter book to use for a children’s book club. This book is part of The Kids of the Polk Street School series. Elementary students can easily relate to these 2nd graders and the challenges school life can bring.
In order to extend this story and meet curriculum objectives, I created Candy Corn Contest comprehension questions and supplemental activities to go with this story.
Whether you are using this title for guided reading, small group instruction, or as a whole-group read aloud to your class, you will find plenty of ideas and resources to support your literacy program.
