Strengthen your fourth grader's reading skills with this analytic "reader's theater" activity.

In this fun fall-themed activity, your child will design and decorate a pumpkin based on a picture book. After completing their pumpkin, they’ll write a short story about a new adventure related to their picture book.

Let your child step into the main character's shoes as they keep track of the setting, events, and names of characters in the story by keeping a journal.
