Remembering the Holocaust Interactive Read-Aloud Book Companion BUNDLE

This powerful interactive read-aloud BUNDLE includes over 180 no-prep, print-and-go activities designed to help upper elementary and middle school students engage meaningfully with Holocaust-themed picture books. These supplemental activities are perfect for extending learning, supporting text analysis, and promoting critical thinking during your Holocaust study.

You save over 20% by purchasing the BUNDLE instead of each book companion individually!

This BUNDLE includes in-depth companion resources for the following picture books:

• The Harmonica by Tony Johnston
• The Whispering Town by Jennifer Elvgren
• Benno and the Night of Broken Glass by Meg Wiviott
• Jars of Hope by Jennifer Roy

Students will:

• Analyze character change, development, and obstacles
• Identify themes and author’s message with text evidence
• Make inferences, connections, and predictions
• Examine symbolism and figurative language
• Interpret historical and emotional context
• Engage in creative responses like diary entries, poetry, comic strips, and quote reflections

• And so much more!
• All resources include clear student directions and minimal prep, making them easy to use and flexible for whole-group, small-group, or independent learning.
