If You Give a Mouse - Writing Worksheets

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff is a contemporary classic. The story builds as one thing leads to the next when you give in to the whims of a silly little mouse! It contains simple humor that kids enjoy reading or listening to over and over again. Most children absolutely love these books and some adults love them just as much - I would fall in that camp!!

This is also a great book to work on comprehension skills. The first being prediction. “What do you think will happen next? Can you make a prediction?” As well as the ability to retell a story by asking,” What happened next?” These two tools are both essential as well as really easy to use to build up your child’s early literacy.

We also had to share this video produced by Jen Swinburne, an educator in Baltimore, Maryland. She started making videos like this when the whole world turned to virtual learning in March 2020 as a way to bring reading to life! Be sure to visit her Youtube channel for more stories!
