The ideas presented here for each of these books are only a beginning. Please use this as a springboard to the many creative things that you do with children's literature in your classroom. As you develop new activities to correlate with these books, please send your ideas to me and I will add them to the webpage so that all teachers may benefit from your ideas.

- Use a 12" X 18" piece of construction paper for each pocket. Fold up 6" to make a 12" square.
- Staple the right side of the pocket closed.
- Punch two or three holdes in the left side of the pocket.
- Glue the title strip onto the pocket. The title strip is the same as the bookmark for each book.
- Store each completed project in the pocket for that book.
- (PowerPoint file) for the Literature Pockets or let students design their own in KidPix. Students should personalize the cover in PowerPoint by replacing with their own name and digital picture.
- Glue the Literature Pocket Cover to a 12" square of construction paper and punch two or three holes in the left side of the cover.
- As the Literature Pockets are completed, fasten the cover and the pockets together. You might use string, ribbon, twine, raffia, or metal rings.
