5 Ways to use a
Winter Emergent Reader
There are so many ways to integrate this emergent reader into your classroom! Keep reading for the top 5 ways to do so!
1. USE TO TEACH OR REVIEW SIGHT WORDS
Introduce or review sight words "is" and "here" (they repeat on each page). After reading, have students go through the book and circle or underline the words in the text!
2. USE AS A SHARED READING
This resource includes colored picture cards that you can use in a pocket chart or on anchor chart paper. You can point under each word and read the story with your class. This models fluency, tracking, and any other reading strategy you want to share with your kiddos!
3. WRITING
After reading the story, use the repeated sentence structure as a model for the students' own writing. Tell them they are going to write about things that they see in the winter. Use the pictures throughout the book to give them ideas of things one might see during this season.
4. BOOK BOXES/HOME LIBRARY
Guided reading books at my school have to be shared between three kindergarten classrooms. It is really hard to hang onto books for book boxes when we must constantly share. This printable is a great addition to your students' book box when you don't have guided reading books that you can keep in there! You can also send this book home for students to read to their families and put in their home library (if they have one).
5. MEANINGFUL SUB WORK
Going to be out? Still want your students' reading and engaged? This emergent reader is perfect for a sub! It's easy to use, meaningful work, and students can color in the black and white pictures when finished.
I also love that this book has two copies to a page so it saves paper! 10 pages in total for your little learners! Want to add this to your Winter Themed Unit? Click on the link below to do so! 😊
