Georgia Picture Book Awards/Helen Ruffin/Book Activities/Practice and Discussion
 
Are you preparing your students for the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl? Do you want them to read all of the 2024-2025 Georgia Picture Book Award nominees? This all-in-one product includes no-prep practice questions, discussion questions, engaging activities, QR code read aloud bookmarks, and a Google Slide linked to a read-aloud playlist of the books for each of the 20 nominated books.
 
Even if your students are not participating in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl or voting on the Georgia Children’s Book Award, the questions, discussions, and activities are great to use any time.
 
What's Included:
368 No-Prep Practice Questions: Ready-to-use questions for each book to test comprehension and prepare students for the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl.
Discussion Questions: Thought-provoking questions to facilitate meaningful conversations about each story.
Engaging Activity: One hands-on activity per book designed to deepen understanding.
Bookmarks with QR Codes: Bookmarks linked to a read-aloud playlist for each book (except Midnight and Moon). I use dynamic QR codes if a link no longer works email me and I can update the QR code source without the need for you to reprint.
Google Slide Link: Share the read-aloud playlist with your whole class or assign it in your Google Classroom. Note: Midnight and Moon are not on the playlist.
