Rosie’s Rainy Picture: 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.

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
Offer washable paint, a broad brush and large paper. Make different marks together. Let the child decide what the marks suggest.
