Uncovered Cover Art: Spice Up Guided Reading Responses

Do you need to engage and inspire interesting student responses during guided reading?

If so, Uncovered Cover Art may be on help to you. This blog shares re-invented book covers for popular children's literature. The artwork is simply beautiful.

Some ideas how this site could be used during guided reading:
  • Before reading: What does this cover/artwork tell you about the book?
  • During reading: Why do you think the artist chose to put that scene/item on the cover?
  • After reading: Explain why the artist created the cover in that fashion. Use details from the text.
  • After reading: Have students create their own imaginative covers and submit them to the site OR post on your teacher website.

Enjoy!
