Did the word rhyme with a word they know, etc.
7. Tell the children that they will be reading a story with you. Procedure
1. Tell the students the title of the book. Then ask them what they think will happen if they give a mouse a cookie.
2. Show them different parts of the book, review beginning, middle, and end.
3. After predicting what might happen with the mouse, explain to the children that you will be reading the story a little bit different than usual.
4. With post-it notes cover the pictures of the objects for which you want them to identify the word, for example if you want them to identify the word straw,
cover the picture of the straw. Tell them the pictures are covered so that they can focus on the words in the story.
5. Read through the story. Then read it again pausing at the words you want them to identify, they say it then you uncover the picture to see if they identified the word correctly.
