Instructional Ideas

  • Read the story aloud to the whole class; children can follow along in their own copies of the book
  • After familiarizing students with the story, allow them to practice reading the book independently or in pairs as a learning center activity
  • Read other versions of the tale, making comparisons between the different stories
  • Send the book home and encourage parents to practice reading it with their children

Classroom Considerations

  • Seek the help of a classroom aide or upper elementary student to create a class set of the mini-books

Pros

  • Two additional templates of the mini-book are included that allow learners to either write the text or create the illustrations for the story
  • A document is included that offers directions for assembling the mini-book

Cons

  • None
