Lorinda Cauley's book Clap Your Hands is a fun way to expand budding readers' vocabulary in context (although you could use any book for this strategy). To prepare kids, introduce the following terms before reading: dare, flap, frown, spread, and stomp. Prompt connections with other concepts through the engaging comprehension questions for each term. Use the graphic organizers to synthesize these skills.
