Sequencing Events for There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog

Next, Kindergarten students thrive on FUN sequencing cards. We use these cards as a whole group to retell the story. You could make these into puppets on sticks to sequence that way as well. Once students see the cards in order, the student can work on sequencing the story on their own. With prompting and support that is.

Sequencing Printable

Now, your little learners can use a printable sequencing sheet to allow each student to sequence the story themselves. Our standard readers “with prompting for support” so I allow my learners to use the book and help from our whole group sequencing activity to guide this activity.

Differentiated Writing Prompts

Next, grab these three differentiated writing prompts for writing about the book, a Write Me Three sheet allowing the student to write about three things from the book, and a word wall to support writing and vocabulary terms used in the book.

We use these in my classroom during our ELA time and in small groups. Every student can choose their own writing prompt, or each group can use a different writing prompt. Using this word wall is also a huge help for little learners.

Reading Comprehension Game

Next, my classroom’s FAVORITE game year after year is the reading comprehension game to practice all those comprehension skills and standards in an engaging way. This game comes with a board, answer key and 27 reading comprehension questions. Seriously… my students RUN to this station. And I collect so much great data for RTI easily by marking how many questions students get correct.
