Re literacy bags
By Patty

Hi Heather. Literacy bags are bags( cloth or whatever you have) with several books that are theme related. For example, a bag on seasons might include the books Frederick, A Busy Year, In for Winter, Out for Spring, The
Four Seasons, etc. Also, there would be a journal of some kind so the child could write responses to some questions you want answered ( put your favorite story in sequence, find 10 descriptive words in a book,etc.) and some sort of activity, like a leaf stencils. Some of the activities could be for skills or just for fun. They are wonderful to use but I guess I wanted some new ideas

for mine. I hope this helps. Oh, the child would take the bag home say on Monday and return it completed on Thursday. Then you would send it home with someone else the next Monday. You could have several bags going at the same time.
