Nathan’s Pocket Apron: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 2. 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.

apron: A covering worn over clothes while working.
pocket: A small pouch on clothing for holding things.
shallow: Not very deep.
deeper: Reaching farther down inside.
comfortably: In a way that feels easy and not awkward.

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

With an adult, compare broad cloth pockets of different depths using a large crayon. Lay them flat first, then test an adult-prepared apron by walking and bending slowly.
