Introduce Vocabulary: One Hungry Monster (O'Keefe)

Combine counting and vocabulary practice with Susan O'Keefe's engaging story One Hungry Monster, which you can find on YouTube if needed. Introduce learners to the following in-text words: doubt, gargle, rude, swear, and underneath. Encourage context clues as you read by asking them to raise hands when they hear one in the text. Comprehension questions entice scholars to connect familiar concepts to these new terms, and visual learners may benefit from the graphic organizers linked here. Emerging readers will have a blast with the illustrations!
