Educators
often ask me which of my books would work best in their classroom. So this
year, I’ve decided to feature a book each week and highlight related teaching
materials and strategies.
A Place for Butterflies
was
originally published in 2006, but was revised and updated in 2014 and 2024, so it has
the latest information about the challenges butterflies face and how we can do
simple things to help them survive.

I have also created a Teacher’s Guide that
makes connections to a wide variety of NGSS and Common Core standards. You can
find additional activities, including a life cycle song, here.

This book is great for Reading Buddies programs. For
more information, read this article.

The
main text of A Place for Butterfliess has
both a cause & effect text structure and a problem-solution text structure,
while many of the sibdebars compare past human activities that hurt butterflies
to current more butterfly-friendly activities. That makes it a great mentor
text for students learning about nonfiction text structures.
