Amelia Bedelia
is such a fun book that kids of all ages will enjoy.
Dear Amelia is so eager to please her new employers that she does exactly what they ask of her. So when she is asked to “dress a chicken” she makes clothes for a chicken, she measures rice with a measuring tape, and literally draws the drapes.
The best way to incorporate Amelia Bedelia into a lesson is to have an Amelia Bedelia day!
Have your children do everything they are asked just like Amelia would have done it. You can also do some of the same things Amelia does in the book.
