Share the Story: Ellie the Elephant

Share the Story is a teaching strategy for helping children learn to read. Words are in gray (for parents) and black (for children) to create an interactive reading experience for parent and child. On each page, one word is added in black for your child to read. By starting with one word on the page for child to read, and increasing this by one word at a time, children will be neither overwhelmed nor bored with learning to focus on letters and words. This reading method will be especially effective for children who learn best by memorization, or children who otherwise resist looking at the words on the page. If other teaching strategies have left your child bored and frustrated with reading, try Share the Story!

In this Share the Story edition, children will learn to read and recognize the following words: on, ox, at, cat, bat, rat, dog, log, frog, up, pup, and

Ellie the Elephant is trying to rescue her Baby Barry who is stuck on a branch high up in a tree. Ox tries to help. Cat tries to help. Bat tries to help. Rat tries to help. Dog brings a log to help, and Frog tries to help. Then Pup comes along and asks a question. Giraffe hears her name called, and at last the problem is solved. Baby Barry is back on the ground with Ox, Cat, Bat, Rat, Dog, Frog and Pup. All is well!
