Just like your budding readers may have felt, Froggy is nervous on his first day of school. Use Johnathan London's book Froggy Goes to School to practice vocabulary in context. Prior to reading the story aloud, pre-teach the new words they will hear, including nervous and squirm (outlined here but not necessarily the only ones you should use). As kids listen, they pay attention to context clues for these words. Comprehension questions promote outside connections to familiar concepts and visual learners may benefit from the graphic organizers linked here. Find this story read on YouTube if you don't have it.
