Holly’s Sock Match: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 3–4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

sock: Something worn on a foot.
red: A colour like a ripe tomato.
blue: A colour like a clear sky.
pair: Two things that go together.
match: Go together because they have the same colour, size or shape.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Match two pairs of safe large socks and retell how Holly finds the missing partner.
