Getting Ready

I love using emergent readers with my students.  The repetitive text and high frequency words help build their fluency and confidence with reading.

To prepare the Thanksgiving book (below), I first printed a set of all eight pages for each of my students.

There are two of each book page per page so I simply cut the book in half and added two staples on the side to secure them.

Then I grabbed some crayons for my students to add color to the pages of the book and I was all set!

Thanksgiving Foods Book

To introduce the book, my students and I had a quick discussion about Thanksgiving foods.

Then we looked through the book to find high frequency words, letters, punctuation, spaces, etc.

We practiced pointing to each word on the page to read the sentences.  Each page included repetitive text made from the high frequency sight words: “We like to eat the…”

My early readers were able to use the pictures to help them determine the Thanksgiving food shown.

My students loved coloring in the pages of their book when they were through!

This little book is perfect to use with your whole class or in a small guided reading group.

Students can keep their book in their book baskets for independent and buddy reading.

It could even be sent home for students to read with their families!
