Instructional Ideas

  • Invite learners to color in the images included in the story copy (which you can find in the materials tab for this resource)

Classroom Considerations

  • The story provided does include a lot of text to read; learners will likely need the story read to them either as a whole class or at smaller teacher- or volunteer-led stations
  • You could also easily use your own version of The Little Red Hen, since the practice words are fairly generic

Pros

  • See the materials for a copy of the story that you can print out and put together into a little booklet or packet, as well as an additional tracing and printing practice page
  • Includes words to trace and handwriting lines for additional practice, effectively scaffolding the printing practice

Cons

  • None
