No Prep Sub Plans: The Book With No Pictures

When I couldn’t be in the classroom, I wanted lessons that would still spark joy and keep students thinking. These plans, built around The Book With No Pictures, brought laughter and learning together. My students stayed engaged while practicing literacy skills in ways they didn’t even realize were “work.”

Includes:

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

• Word Work: Rhyming and syllables practice

• Writing: 3 fun, story-inspired writing activities

• Reading: Retelling picture cards, story elements sheet

• Vocabulary: Anchor chart images

Even in my absence, the classroom stayed buzzing with curiosity and creativity.
