Hello readers!

I'm excited to now offer a free Educational Pack download to go along with Hattie Hates Hugs. Included are eleven pages of educational content including before and after reading discussion prompts, phonics practice, figurative language brainstorm, four pages of handwriting practice, horseshoe history, and getting active with kid-safe throwing/rolling yard games. 

As a long time homeschooler, this pack is written for a mixed-age and/or mixed-ability group. It's perfect for parents snuggling on the couch with the book and the packet, preschool teachers or librarians leading story time, or grade school teachers to incorporate into their own lesson plans. 

I'd love to hear how you use it. You can download below or on the Books page on my website. Happy learning!

Hattie Hates Hugs is partnered with the picture book Smile, Sophia by Skylaar Amann to create a dynamic book duo on author Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw's blog. Designed to prevent summer slide, the Dynamic Book Duos include educational activities and comprehension questions. Check it out at Dynamic Book Duos!
