3 Little Pigs

Today we read the story of the 3 Little Pigs.  After reading, we used cards and put the story in order using pictures.  In reader's workshop, we have talked about 3 ways to read a story:

1. tell a story you already know (like the 3 little pigs - look at the pages and just retell the story - no "reading" required)

2. tell a story from the pictures (if you've never heard the story before, you can look at the pictures and make one up from what you see in the pictures - no "reading" required)

3, read the words (some students can read - so they can look at the words and read what is there.  For others, they can pick out familiar words that they recognize and use those as they tell a story from the pictures)

No matter you're ability level - YOU CAN READ!  Students are bringing home their sequencing story cards for the 3 Little Pigs today.  See if they can put the story in order and tell you a story they know while looking at the pictures.
