Five pages to read aloud, one opinion each. On pages 1 to 3 children circle one of two animals, draw it and trace a starter such as I like or I would be a, then finish the sentence. Page 4 has a box to draw a favorite animal and a box to show why, each with a starter. Page 5 is a book the child likes, drawn and told with because.
Read the question aloud and let children say their answer to a partner before they draw. Model one page on the board: circle, draw, then write "I like dogs because they play." Children who are not writing yet can tell you their sentence while you write it under the drawing.
Ask the question at dinner or in the car, and listen for a reason: why that animal? Then let your child draw and write it. Read the finished page back together.
Draw and write pages where children say which animal they like and why. They circle a picture, draw it and trace a sentence starter, then finish the sentence in their own words.
