📖 Sample Text — "My Monster Is Not Scary"
It was time to trick-or-treat, but Wendy was afraid to go out because of all of the monsters. "Monsters are so scary," Wendy said.
"My monster is not scary," said Lucy. "He's got a blue head, wears a green shirt, and is as cuddly as a bunny rabbit."
"My monster is not scary," said Patty. "He's got a yellow head, wears a pink shirt, and is as cute as a kitty cat."
👉 Students listen to the clues and find the monster that goes with each person.
📖 Sample Text — "Monster Eats a Bunch"
Chomp. Smack. Gobble. Crunch.
Monster says, "Time for lunch."
Feed Monster something that has a cone, two scoops, and is very, very cold.
Burp-slurp! Slobber. Munch.
Monster eats and eats a bunch!
Feed Monster something that has a crust, eyeball filling, and is eaten by the slice.
👉 Students use the clues to infer what to feed the monster.
