Isabel’s Little Film: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. 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.

flicks: Moves quickly with a light push.
compares: Looks for what is alike and different.
version: One form of something that can be made in different ways.
springy: Able to bounce back into shape.
perched: Resting on a small or high place.

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

Make a short flipbook with an adult. Keep the cards aligned and change one simple shape a little at a time. Compare two endings and ask a viewer which movement they notice.
