Picture Books
As you may have noticed from my previous blog entries, I am a big fan of activities that complement commonly used picture books in kindergarten. Picture books offer little learners numerous opportunities to encounter tone, context, vocabulary, and, of course, entertainment. By providing activities that offer both purposeful and enjoyable practice of literacy skills, you can further enrich the experience of reading picture books to your students.
You will love these activity packs for this months picture books.
All of these activities can be found on TPT and KC Store.
Each Activity Pack Includes:
Sequencing Activity
Writing Activity
Retelling Activity
Craft Activity
Kindergarten Standards:
RL.K.2 With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details.
RL.K.3 With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.
RL.K.7 With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).
If you need any of these books for your classroom library, you can find them in my Amazon Store.
By incorporating these activities into your kindergarten curriculum, you will enhance the literacy skills of your students while also making the reading experience more enjoyable. Picture books provide a great opportunity for little learners to develop their literacy skills, and with the addition of purposeful activities, they can become even more effective tools for learning.
