Dinosaur Emergent Reader

Many students love everything about dinosaurs so…..
   I created an easy reader, emergent book to focus on the word here that we had been practicing with movement!  It is one of the crazy, dizzy words that has to be spelled because we can NOT stretch or sound it out in kindergarten.  Check out our marching video to practice!
  The learners were so surprised that it was easy for them to read this book!  They were so proud!
After reading the book, we focused on cutting apart a sentence form the book (BOY are we proud at how well we cut) Click here for Cutting Guide to help develop this difficult skill.
and putting it back together.  It’s such a great activity to focus on all the things we know about print.  (Beginning sentence begins with a capital letter, ends with punctuation, spaces are between words, words begin with specific letters, the words need to go in an order to make sense)
   Then we illustrated the sentence!  
So proud that it actually looks like something when we draw!  Shapes do help with that!  We can also add details to help tell the story of the sentence!  Do you see the volcano?
 We practice looking for dinosaur words in the rice table!  We are searching for dinos!
 We write them on a sorting sheet so we can take it home and share with our families!
We can also choose to sort them on a sheet of words to spell or words to stretch!
