Hi again, it’s Laureen from Teach With Laughter. I am so excited to be using the Story World Real World books in my classroom that I’m here to share another activity with you that you can use with The Greedy Dog and the Very Big Bone theme set .
As mentioned in my last post, the traditional story of The Greedy Dog and the Very Big Bone comes with three related informational texts. The activity I’m sharing with you today can be used with the narrative book Mirror Magic .
One of the activities my students enjoy during literacy centers is using mirrors to read backward words. Not only does it build vocabulary, but it also helps with fine motor skills and it’s FUN !
At the bottom of this page, I've included a packet of mirror activities for vocabulary that your students will find engaging and fun!
I picked up a few mirrors at our local dollar store and students use them to read the twelve word cards. I have included a student instruction card to keep students on task and a recording page to check for understanding.
You can download the worksheet below, and be sure to check out the
Story World Real World
series—you won’t be disappointed!
