If You Give a Dog a Donut: Practicing Cause and Effect
What's included
1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this one time class, students will have fun while practicing reading comprehension strategies with the book "If You Give a Dog a Donut" by Laura Joffe Numeroff. I will read aloud the story. Students are welcome to bring their own copy of the book to class and read along with me if they have it. We will make predictions throughout the book, identify the main characters, and identify causes and effects in the story. We will then practice identifying more and cause and effect relationships and will relate this concept to our own lives. Finally, students will practice their writing skills as we write our own story with causes and effects, similar to "If You Give a Dog a Donut." The reading on the class slides as well as the comprehension strategies are geared towards First Graders; however, students in other grades are welcome! Students should be able to read and write simple sentences. We will be focusing more on reading comprehension and writing than on the mechanics of reading.
