Hey, Mr. Snowman! is a read-aloud with a predictable

pattern, but enough variations to keep students attentive to the

details of print. It can be printed as is for a read-aloud. The font

is also large enough for the pages to be mounted on construction

paper and used as a big book for shared reading.

Emergent readers must have repeated opportunities to

read words in order to master them. Please look at the extended

activity set for Hey,Mr.Snowman!, available at my TPT store.

This set will provide your young readers additional practice with

the same story in a variety of contexts:

* a guided reading book in 2 formats (one fully

illustrated, the other with a choice of drawing or

cut-and-glue for some of the illustrations)

* sentence strips and picture cards to retell

the story in sequence on the pocket chart

* a readers’ theater script of the story

In addition to extending reading vocabulary, the

materials are designed to improve fluency, specifically inflection,

phrasing, and emphasis, as shown by bold text and italics. Used

together, they will make a great “Mr. Snowman Literacy Center”!

There are even 3 pages of props that can be printed and taped to

craft sticks for students to use in improvising a new Mr. Snowman

story.
