Instructional Ideas

• Invite learners to color in the images included in the story copy (which you can find in the materials tab for this resource)

Classroom Considerations

• The story provided does include a lot of text to read; learners will likely need the story read to them either as a whole class or at smaller teacher- or volunteer-led stations
• You could also easily use your own version of The Little Red Hen, since the practice words are fairly generic

Pros

• See the materials for a copy of the story that you can print out and put together into a little booklet or packet, as well as an additional tracing and printing practice page
• Includes words to trace and handwriting lines for additional practice, effectively scaffolding the printing practice

Cons

• None
