Rosie’s Windy Day: 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.

ribbon: A narrow strip of soft fabric.
wind: Air that is moving.
air: The gases all around us, even when we cannot see them.
leaves: The flat parts growing on the tree.
still: Not moving.

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

Use the pictures to tell what happened first, next and last. Show what changed. What did Rosie notice? Children may point, gesture, sign or talk with an adult.
