My students love books, and they would listen to them all day if I would let them. I want to take my reading instruction to the next level by using puppets. I know that students love puppets and that when I use them, student engagement will be even higher. They will be able to use the puppets, themselves, to retell stories and practice asking and answering questions about a text. I have picked out some general puppets that will go along with lots of different stories that we read. Students will also use the puppets to improve their public speaking skills, because they can use them to talk in front of their peers in a less intimidating way.
