Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse reading comprehension lesson plans for K-2! This FREEBIE includes 5 lesson plans, complete with student response activities and a craft!
Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse
Lilly loves school and especially loves her teacher, Mr. Slinger. That is until he takes her purple plastic purse for being too disruptive. Lilly’s feelings about Mr. Slinger quickly change. Use this story to teach a good lesson about having patience and being a good listener. You and your students will love this book!
Here is a video by StoryTime at Awnie’s House. I love her read alouds!
Reading Lesson Plans
Students develop their reading comprehension throughout our units while learning new vocabulary and strengthening their grammar through the weekly sentence study. Our research-based curriculum is aligned to the CCSS and TEKS. We are so excited to share our newly updated units for K-2 with you! Let’s take a look at some skills students will practice with the book, Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.
Character Analysis
We teach students to get to know the characters so they better understand what they are reading. Using an anchor chart, discuss and show how Lilly changes throughout the story.
Story Retell
Students retell the story using story cards. This can be done whole-group and independently!
These sweeties did a drawing and story retell inside their journals! So Precious!
Inferring
Students infer when reading to help them better understand what is happening in the story and why.
Opinion Writing
We often ask students about their favorite part of a book. This is great practice! This little one liked when Lilly apologized to Mr. Slinger. She was REALLY sorry!
Sentence Study and Vocabulary
We include both sentence study and vocabulary for Every. Single. Book! And better yet, we’ve updated the units to provide individual 5-day lesson plans just for vocab and sentence study/grammar!
Craft
Oh yes, there is a craft, too!

Hi, Deanna! I absolutely LOVE your products! I am now a retired second-grade teacher who works as a freelance editor. My speciality is editing teacher products (lesson plans, curriculum, handouts, etc.) before they’re published and/or released to teachers via school districts or places such as TpT. I’ve used many of your lesson plans in my classroom, so I’m familiar with many of your products. Please let me know if you’re ever looking for an editor to help prepare your products! Thanks!
