But just when Jack thinks he can’t feel any worse, Billie decides to audition for a part in the concert too. Unlike Jack, Billie is brave and she sings so well that she is given the solo! Jack is grumpy but soon realizes that being Billie’s friend is much more important than any school concert. But on the night of their performance, things don’t quite go to plan and Jack discovers he really is the star he had always dreamed of being. Other Hey Jack! Book Studies Hey Jack!

Tornado poke cards are a great independent, partner or guided reading group comprehension activity. My students love the poke card process and enjoy checking each other when they answer questions. The poke cards are self checking. Students will answer the question by selecting one of three choices. Using a pencil, straw, or pipe cleaner, students will poke through the hole to choose their answer. The correct answer will have a mark above or around the hole. The poking process quickly engages the students and provides immediate feedback to them. Cards have chapter titles on them for ease of organization.
