Instructional Ideas

• As you read, have kids circle each -ack word they come across
• Have learners work on marking the text by underlining or highlighting where they found the answers to the comprehension questions
• Use this in a teacher-led station
• Read the poem out loud as a whole class or in small groups to get the full effect of all those -ack words

Pros

• The questions are paired with handwriting lines to assist learners as they work on writing correctly
• The poem is a bit silly, but contains many -ack words for kids to practice

Cons

• Does not include an answer key; however, answers should be easy to determine
