1st Grade Booksnaps

I would like to try using booksnaps to replace reading packets/worksheets for my high 1st grade readers. Right now we are reading a Junie B. Jones book and discussing/writing about new vocabulary words in the chapters and sharing our favorite parts. I would love to see my kids go on a hunt for these vocabulary words on their own and use booksnaps to take a picture of where they found the word. Then they can type what they think that word means and choose an emoji that they think represents that word.

They could also take a picture of their favorite part in the story and explain what happened and why it's their favorite.

Another way my students can use booksnaps is by taking a picture of a piece of text and recording themselves reading it aloud for fluency practice.
