Welcome back! This is my second week of Three for Thursday. Today I'm sharing three books that I use to teach skills.
Who doesn't like Amelia Bedelia? The kids love reading about her. Amelia takes everything literally and does exactly what she's told. When she's told to strip the sheets off of the bed, she rips the sheets into strips. Her stories are excellent for teaching the difference between literal and nonliteral language.
A book I like to use to teach the structure of paragraph writing is The Important Book. This story tells the important things about various objects. It repeats the same format for each thing. Topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a closing sentence. Example....The most important thing about a spoon is that you eat with it. Three more details telling about the spoon and retelling the most important thing about a spoon again.
A cute story for teaching pronouns is I and You and Don't forget Who. The story is told with rhyming and has all the pronouns written in color. The illustrations are engaging with colorful creatures. This is a good story for children to understand how and why pronouns are used.
See you next Thursday!
