Product Description:
What can you do when the snow falls outside and covers up everything, far and wide? Put on your mittens and explore a winter wonderland in the pages of this story!
This rib-tickling read-aloud tale was created especially to build early phonics skills by teaching children to recognize "families" of words that share the same spelling pattern. This key reading strategy helps kids decode new words with ease—and become stronger readers, writers, and spellers! Also includes riddles, a cheer, and reading tips! 16 pages.
Teaching Tip:
Make a list on chart paper of all the -ay words found in the story. Write each of the words from your list on an unlined index card. Use a different color for -ay than the rest of the word. Read each word on the cards with children. On another reading of the story, distribute the cards to children and have them hold up their card as their word is read!
