Literacy Activities

  • Before the activity, attach the Dog, Frog, and Hog puppet graphics (see below) to the popsicle sticks.

  • Give the three children the puppets and have each of them read the -og word on the puppet.
  • Tell the story Dog, Frog, and Hog on a Log (see below) and have the children act it out using chairs as a log.
  • Tell the story as many times as desired, choosing different children to act out the parts, and adding different -og words each time.

Read target words in a text

  • Display the Dog, Frog, and Hog on a Log target text (see below) large enough for the children to see.
  • Read the target text to the children.
  • Engage the children in reading the text (support as needed).
  • Read the text with the children again, fading support.
  • Have the children take turns underlining the words that end in -og.
  • Repeat with the  A Log in a Bog target text (see below).

Practice writing target words

  • With the children’s help, create a word wall of the -og words from the activity and add other words that end in -og to the list.
  • Have the children write an -og word on a small piece of paper, then read the word to you as they do one of the -og actions (jog, clog, jump over a log).
  • Repeat writing a word and doing an action until they have written three different words and done all three actions.
