No Prep Sub Plans: Owen

When I had to be out, I wanted lessons that felt calm and purposeful. These plans, built around Owen by Kevin Henkes, let students connect to a sweet, relatable story while practicing reading, writing, and math skills that mattered.

Includes:

• Math: Patterning, mini-book, problem-solving prompt (plus editable templates)

• Word Work: Rhyming and syllables practice

• Writing: 3 writing prompts inspired by Owen’s story

• Reading: Retelling picture cards, story elements sheet

• Vocabulary: Anchor chart images

Even in my absence, students stayed engaged in a story that made them smile.
