Pre-K Reading & Writing · World 2: Story Corner · Level 12
Stories and Me
Connect a story to your own life.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.
For grown-ups
Your child connects stories (and their new words) to their own life: 'this reminds me of…'. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 12
- Stories can be like our own lives! When Rosa lost Teddy, it made me think of a time I lost my toy.
- Bo the puppy got soaked in the rain. Soaked means very, very wet! Have you ever been soaked?
- Pip felt shy at school. Have you ever felt shy? Feeling shy is OK!
- When we hear a new word in a story, we can use it too. I got soaked at the water park!
- Try it with a grown-up! After a story, say: This reminds me of… and tell about your own life.
