Literacy Activities
Hook a book

• Place out books with binder clips or paper clips attached.
• Have the children hook a book (loop a hook through the clip).
• Let the children look at the book they hooked.
• Have the children shake the book while you point out that they shook the book they took 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."

Build words

With word-building cards (found below), have the children make new words by changing the vowel or either of the consonants:

• Change the beginning consonant: hook→ book, look→ cook, took→ nook, wood→ good 
• Change the ending consonant: hook→ hood, woof→ wood, hoof→ hook

Read target words in texts 

• Engage the children in reading the target text Hook a Book (found below). 
• 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 -oo words from dictation (e.g., cook, hook, book, look, took, shook, nook, hood).
