Have each student take the beginning letter or sound from their first or last name and go through the book, identifying all the words that begin with that sound. Working with an adult if necessary, have them make a list of the words they know and the words they don’t know that begin with that sound. If a word is new, help them to figure out its meaning from context clues. Have them select a favorite word from their list, use it in a sentence and draw a picture illustrating it.
