PreK April 28th

This week we will read some doggone good books in the library. Since the end of the year is fast approaching I am having fun reading some of my favorite books with the kids in library. Bark George, by Jules Feiffer, is one of my long-time favorite read alouds. It’s perfect for kid humor: they are well aware of the fact that a dog is supposed to “arf/ruff” and not “meow,” “quack-quack,” etc. The growing frustration of George’s mother is perfectly captured in the illustrations. The surprise ending always makes the kids laugh. After reading the story I retell it using a stuffed dog and beanie babies. Retelling stories helps children understand what they read. Using props found around home can help children remember and retell stories and is an easy was to promote the development of early literacy!!
