Instructional Ideas

  • Set up stations in your class: one for putting the book together, one for coloring and tracing, and one for reading the book out loud
  • Pair this with other materials that cover onsets and rimes and word families

Classroom Considerations

  • The instructions mention a collection of little books, but only the one sample is provided

Pros

  • Each word is paired with a silly illustration
  • Includes instructions for how how to put the books together
  • The -ig words are added in gradually to scaffold the material

Cons

  • None
