“The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe.” ~David Hare


Theme: Rabbits

Skill Tip:
Books with language patterns that the children can easily identify are a helpful tool when learning to read. Tell a familiar story that has a pattern like, “Little Rabbit Foo Foo.” Read the first few pages until your child can hear the pattern. Begin reading the next page. Pause and ask your child to complete the pattern. Here are some pattern books to try:
Who Sank the Boat?
The Very Busy Spider
There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly
This is The House That Jack Built
Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed
Little Rabbit Foo Foo
The Important Book

Book Introduction/Modeling skill:
Read the first few pages of Little Bunny Foo Foo by Paul Brett Johnson until kids can hear the pattern. Begin reading the next page. Pause and ask kids to complete the pattern.
