Book of the Month

Fish Head Soup

“Fish head soup, fish head soup, 
I love, love, love fish head soup! 
Boil up the bones, boil up the eyes. 
There’s nothing like a scoop of fish head soup.”
 

Participation and engagement

Shared reading is a collaborative reading experience that allows all students to participate in reading grade-level texts with fluency and confidence. 

This unique approach engages even the most reluctant readers in lively, fast-paced lessons that allow the rhythm of language and the power of words to be caught, not taught.

Purpose-written texts

Unlike most other big books, the Shared Books in JillE Literacy were written specifically for reading together with the whole class. By combining rhythmical, rhyming text with rigorous, focused discussions, these unique texts build the reservoir of words, language, and skills that are essential for reading and writing success.

No-prep teaching tools

A five-day lesson plan and teaching panels built into every book help teachers guide each daily lesson and take advantage of every opportunity to support comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonemic awareness, phonics skills, and social-emotional learning.

Bridge to independent reading and writing

The Shared Books build a bridge to independent reading by helping students practice and apply a wide range of reading skills in the context of engaging, authentic texts. They also build a bridge to independent writing with follow-up writing activities in every book that help students write for a variety of purposes and audiences.

Fish Head Soup is part of the Grade 2 Whole-Class Resources kit but can be enjoyed by children and teachers of all ages!
