Click, Clack Moo, Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin has long been one of our favourite read aloud books. It is funny and it features great illustrations and animals, so it is one the kids love.  It’s the kind of book that is clever enough that even adults can appreciate it so I like it too!

Since we are doing the letter “C” this week, I thought it would be perfect to spend a day incorporating this book into our lessons.

I love this activity to introduce the concept of characters in a story.  I put the four main characters on the cork board and cut out different sentences such as “I had a problem” and then I had the kids tape them on the character they belonged to.  I found the printables here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This great sheet allowed the kids to write a letter to Farmer Brown from an animal.  You can print it here.

 

These Click, Clack, Moo Fill in the Blanks sheets were great for my early readers and it always makes me happy to see my kids helping each other. Einstein was helping Snuggle Puppy.

    What a great way to expand the story! I love the idea of using pictures and fill in the blank sheets with early readers!

    I would love for you to link this to Read.Explore.Learn.
