in understanding the text.
Word Search: This puzzle invites children to locate the target story words,
reinforcing word recognition skills and building vocabulary.

Connections to the
Language Arts Standards
T he story pages and extension activities in this book are designed to support
you in meeting the following standards as outlined by Mid-continent
Research for Education and Learning (McREL), an organization that collects and
synthesizes national and state curriculum standards—and proposes what teachers
Teaching should provide for their students to become proficient in language arts, among
Tip other curriculum areas.

Activities to Use With Any Story
The activities here extend what students learn with the story pages. You’ll find
activities that reinforce rhyming skills, before and after reading
Who Has the Word? Write each line of a story on a sentence strip, leaving spaces
for the target words as indicated. Cut sentence strips to fit the spaces and write a
target word on each. Hand out the word cards to different children. In the pocket
chart, place sentence strips in order. Read aloud the story. When you come to a
missing word ask, “Who has the word that goes here?” Have that child place the
word in the correct space. Continue in this way to complete the story, and then
read it aloud together.

Scrambled Stories: Write each sentence of a story on a sentence strip, filling in
any missing words. Mix up the strips and place them in a pocket chart. Invite
children to help you sequence the sentences to unscramble the story. Number
the backs of the sentence strips so children can work independently or in pairs
to place the sentences in order, and then check their work. As a variation, cut
apart sentences into individual words. Challenge children to arrange the words
in order.

Encouraging Comprehension
use them to
complete the story. The stories in this book are short, but provide many opportunities to practice
comprehension strategies. After children complete a story, revisit it together. Ask
questions to help children explore their understanding of the story. For example,
after reading “Slide Down!” (page 42), ask:
Who is this story about? (Penny and Pilar)
What do they like to do together? (ride their bikes, play hide-and-seek,
play on the slide)
What problem are they having? (they can’t fit on the slide together)
How do you think they’ll solve this problem? (take turns)
Follow up by inviting children to retell the story in their own words.

Fluency Practice
The brevity of the stories makes them just right for fluency practice.
1. Copy a story on chart paper. Have children help you fill in the missing words.
2. Read the story aloud, modeling good reading behaviors for pacing,
expression, punctuation, and inflection. For example, use stories with more
than one character (and dialogue) to model how to use a different voice for
each character. Model how question marks and exclamation points give you
clues about expression.
3. Read the story together, using an echo reading approach. You read one line,
and children repeat it, echoing your pacing, phrasing, and intonation.
4. Read the story as a group, again encouraging children to follow along with
pacing, phrasing, and intonation.
Story Switcheroo
Have some fun with the stories, using the characters, settings, and events to
create new stories.
1. Write characters’ names on slips of paper. Place them in a bag and label it
“Characters.” Do the same with story settings (such as “the kitchen”), events
(such as “raking leaves”), and “problems” (such as “having a cold”).
2. Let children take turns choosing a slip from each bag. Use the elements to tell
a new story. Write it on chart paper and let children illustrate to create a new
set of stories to read.
