Literacy Activities
Hook a book

• Place out books with binder clips or paper clips attached.
• Have the children hook a book (loop a hook onto the clip).
• Let the children look at the book they hooked.
• Have the children shake the book off the hook and point out that they shook the book they took and shook it off the hook.
• Make comments such as the following:
  • "Look at the book that you got on your hook."
  • "You took a book! You can look at the book you took."
  • "You hooked a cookbook."
  • "You shook the book that you took off the hook."

More Practice
Phonological Awareness: Word Building

• With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:
  • hook → book; look → cook; took → nook  
  • hook → hood → wood → good

Read target words in texts 

• Engage the children in reading the target text Hook a Book. 
• Read the text again, fading support.
• Have the children make a list of the -ook words that they heard.

Write about the activity using target words and patterns

• Let children write words from dictation: cook, hook, book, look, took, shook, nook.
• Have the children write a word from dictation and then change a letter to make a new word: book, cook, took, look, shook, hook, hoof, hood, wood.
