Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I prepared Charlie to return to school on Monday through working on Charlie’s reading. I went and got out our copy of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day written by Judith Viorst.

Charlie finished reading I wanted to prepare comprehension questions for Charlie to answer. The only problem was I didn’t know were or what questions I should have Charlie answer.

Instead of coming up questions I decided to do a search online and see if there were lesson plans already created. I could just download the worksheets and Charlie could do the lessons.

I was blessed as I found quite a few resources we could use. I would like to share these resources with you encase you would like to use Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in your lesson plans.
