1-2-3 Come Make An Emergent Reader With Me

Going trick or treating is one of my favorite childhood memories.  What little girl doesn't love getting to wear lipstick and a crown?

Even if you don't celebrate Halloween, many of your students will be going trick or treating

This little booklet packs a lot of sight word punch, as it includes ALL 40 pre-primer Dolch words, plus another 38 from the other lists, for a total of 78 sight words; all while reinforcing numbers 1-10, as well as colors. Woo hoo!

Children read the simple sentences, trace and write the number & number word, then color the picture.

The base of the booklet is a little pumpkin treat bag that says: "Be Safe!" Simply run it off on orange paper.

It's loaded with sight words, so take a moment to read it out loud, calling on students to each read a tip, then send it home as a reminder for parents.

Wishing you a day filled with lots of love and giggles.
