tutoring fun

      I love all my tutoring girls and I love making fun activities for us to do. Right now I have really loved making the kids little laminated books that they answer questions in after reading short “I can read” books.

This week made to booklets for The Snowman and Snow. The Snowman is about a boy that builds a snow man and he comes to life at night. When I worked preschool I was able to see a movie of this and I always thought it was so mesmerizing. The pictures are gorgeous and I just really loved that. This is a simple fun story that really shows the power of imagination. It is also good for looking at the steps that lead to making a snowman. It would be good for writing a piece that uses the words first, then, next, and last. 

Snow is a simple nonfiction story. It looks at what snow in and how it changes from the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring. 

How do you look at your students comprehension? Would you be willing to try these fun little books?

Happy Holidays,

Ms. Cara
