Picture
This is a predictable emergent reader that can be used for the first week of school, a Back to School theme, or any time during the school year. It is appropriate for pre-readers and early readers in preschool, pre-K and Kindergarten.

The reader emphasizes a sequence of things often done in the morning before going to school. On the last page, children can draw a picture of their own school, and/or themselves.

Here are the captions for each page of the reader:
  • I wake up in the morning.
  • I get dressed.
  • I eat breakfast.
  • I wash my face and hands.
  • I brush my teeth.
  • I pack my backpack.
  • I go to school.
  • Good morning, school!
  • This is my school. (Child draws own picture.)

"Reading" Cut and Paste Sentences
