Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Holes First Chapter Friday Video || Plus Reading Comprehension Strategy @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Friday, September 15, 2023 - Welcome to my channel, Learning with the Word Nerd, the best place on the internet for First Chapter Friday read aloud videos! This week I’ll be reading from the Newbery award winning book Holes by Louis Sachar. I’ll also be joined by a special guest, my son Riley, who will both tell us why he liked this book and also demonstrate the playdoh comprehension strategy. It’s a read aloud you won’t want to miss!
Book Blurb: Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment —and redemption.
This groundbreaking classic is the winner of the Newbery Medal as well as the National Book Award! HOLES is a New York Times bestseller and one of the strongest-selling middle-grade books to ever hit shelves!
