5th – 9th Grade

The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman is a moving account of four homeless children who struggle to survive together and grow to become a family.

This resource is designed to introduce students to the novel, the author and some background information on India’s Ragpickers.

What’s included:

  • A suggested lesson plan
  • A journal entry that asks students to study the cover and make predictions based on some leading questions. It also includes a direct link to the book trailer.
  • A 7 Word Challenge puzzle on the author, Padma Venkatraman. The puzzle requires students to complete a bit of research using on-line sources (the links are provided). This activity requires students to read carefully to decipher clues and come up with a word that fits the description based on the letter tiles provided.
  • An active listening worksheet that students complete after watching “India’s Ragpickers – the Harsh Reality.” The worksheet also includes opportunities for student response to certain aspects of the video.
  • Answer keys for all resources

I will be uploading resources that accompany the read-aloud weekly. Follow my store to receive updates when these new resources are uploaded.
