Instructional Ideas

  • Use the worksheets as warm-up activities or homework assignments to reinforce understanding
  • Have kids come up with their own stories about how tigers got their stripes (or how another animal got its identifying feature)

Classroom Considerations

  • The story might be a little scary for some readers (the tiger is tied to a tree and can't escape)

Pros

  • Provides opportunities for differentiated instruction
  • Helpful for learners who need additional help reading the story
  • Includes versions for both first and second graders

Cons

  • None
