The book I am going to talk about is one that I don't think I found on someone's list. It was listed below another book where it says "Customers who bought this book also liked..."
What a great book! I loved its emphasis on words and definitions, and the story line was clever, too! I looked online, and Debra Frasier has a website that offers some additional resources to use with it, too. It is cleverly written and may be better for students in Grades 3 and up, but maybe some of you will tell me differently.
If I am mistaken and found this book in your list of fall read-alouds, I apologize and thank you for the recommendation!

I blogged about some of my activities with this book earlier last school year. Instead of a traditional Halloween Party, this is how we decided to celebrate. I also shared a few other lesson ideas. Hope you find something you can use!

My school used this book in the past to host a Vocabulary Parade. Each class signed up near the library for a vocabulary word. That is 1200+ plus words that need to be posted for students to choose from. After they choose a word, they have to take it home to define it, write a sentences with it. Then on the day of the parade they are to dress as their word.
