When this happens, I will introduce the concept of rhyming words and continue reading the book and showing the students more examples of rhyming words. Afterwards, I would hand out a work sheet that has examples of rhyming words and the students are to circle the words that rhyme.

After we have read the story together, I will ask students what happened in the story for example, what happened first, second, third, and last questions. After that exercise I would do a smartboard activity where the students are to draw a line from one picture to the sequence number. This will help the students get an idea of what happened in the story and why did it happen. You could also teach cause and effect on this book as well.
