Most Beloved Sister By: Astrid Lindgren & Hans Arnold Introduction: Most Beloved Sister is narrated by Barbara, a young girl who has a secret imaginary sister whom she calls her most beloved sister, Lalla-Lee. At home Barbara feels forgotten by her parents and younger brother. So she escapes with her imaginary sister Lalla-Lee and goes on adventures with their beautiful horses to magical lands. One day Lalla-Lee tells Barbara that when the rosebush die so too will she. Barbara realizes she must grow up and let go of LallaLee. Barbara returns home after a day of adventure and is surprised to see her family dearly misses her. This book fits in with my theme about Growing Up, it portrays a stage many children go through. Barbara feels forgotten by her family with the arrival of her little brother, so she makes up an imaginary friend. In the end of the story Barbara realizes her family needs her at home. A comprehensive word study plan can be incorporated based off the readings of this story. Sight words, phonics generalizations, structural analysis, analogizing words and vocabulary can be incorporated in accordance with the book Most Beloved Sister.
For the closure, I will put together a short song about the book Most Beloved Sister and have student clap out the syllables. This will be a fun game and be beneficial for kinesthetic learners. Here is an example of an interactive song. http://youtu.be/KWK9XXyKOH4
