Have you read, “The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats? The book follows a boy playing outside in the snow, and it’s great for sequencing and story retell.
There are many lessons that can be built off of this book. Below are some ideas:
Learn about snow. How does it form? What can you do in the snow?
Make a craft - Focus on following 1-2 step directions and prepositions while crafting. Create your own snowy diorama!
Practice sequencing and story retell - Use a graphic organizer and/or picture cards to help your child sequence and retell the story’s events.
Prepositions - There are many opportunities to practice using prepositions while looking at the pictures.
Practice speech sounds during reading aloud - Model these sounds for your child, and then have the child say the words back.
Readers: Have you tried any storybook extension activities at home?
