📖 Sample Text
"Way way down, in the deep blue sea,
a splashy little mermaid was as splashy as can be!
She splashed over a seashell...
And she splashed under a wave.
She splashed beside a seahorse who was hiding near a cave."
(You get the idea!)
⭐ How It Works
As you read the story, students move the mermaid into the correct position on each page (over, under, beside, around and more) and add the matching pieces. At the end, students answer WH-questions by selecting and matching the correct response pieces — building comprehension and expressive language.
